Family and loved ones,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathies as you mourn the loss of our friend, Ralph.
He and I shared many conversations in person and over the phone. He spoke highly of his family and despite some periodic adversity, always seemed to have an optimistic and selfless demeanor.
It was always clear to me that he would rather see others benefit any time I would ask, "Is there anything I can do to make your life easier?" That speaks to the sort of man he was.
I am grateful for his friendship. He would always find a way to make me smile and laugh, no matter what topic we began our conversation with.
Regrettably, I will not be able to attend the service on July 4th. Instead, I will encourage you to make some time for yourselves to grieve his loss. I hope that you will be able to connect with loved ones and share fond memories of Ralph.
Respectfully,
Ben Jessome
MLA Hammonds Plains-Lucasville
