To The Family of Ralph Mitchell
my thoughts are with you'all I am only three weeks older than Ralph… Even though we were in school together. . . didn't really get to know him that well but we all are called home when the Dear Lord calls us.. . We have lost a few classmates recently. . ..I just pray that those who have not gotten a chance to Give Our Lives To The Lord need to really pay more attention to HIS Ways to guide us until we draw our last breath.
Sincerely,
Greg Mouser
I am sorry for your loss. We met when we were 8th graders at Philippi Jr. High. He was a caring and witty person who had a kind word for everyone. Ralph remained a good friend through our PB graduation in 1970. It was a joy to know him.
May good memories comfort you and give you peace through the Prince of Peace.
Rest in peace Ralph! I loved working with Ralph and his Dad at Sago, they were both very hard working nice men! Sorry for the families loss!
Dear Children Ralph, So sorry for your loss. II am sure he will be sadly missed but I hope you have wonderful Memories. I graduated from High school with him and he was a good person then. Much love and prayers to all. Gloria Thompson Smith
