Condolence From Logan Hulsey

I am greatly saddened to hear the news of the passing of Uncle Ralph. I wish I were able to be there with you during this difficult time. I have very fond memories of visiting y’all at your home in Dahlonega. I will always remember the excitement of driving down your driveway, looking forward to the delicious food, and the great company we were about to experience. Uncle Ralph’s positive energy was always uplifting and made our visits with y’all memorable. Thinking of these times now, I am reminded of countless stories from my childhood given to me by uncle Ralph, from showing me caves to explaining how he built your house. Uncle Ralph and these memories will always remain in my heart, while I may not be there in body, I am with you in spirit. With Much Love, Logan

Aunt Becky, The brightness that Uncle Ralph brought to this world will not be soon forgotten. His presence was always a blessing at any family gathering. He never failed to make us laugh, and the wisdom he shared left this world a better place. Logan and I always cherished any opportunity to visit with y'all, and we will dearly miss the vitality and cheer that Uncle Ralph brought with him anywhere he went. We are left with nothing but fond memories of the time we were so fortunate to spend with him. Our hearts are with you in this difficult time, but we are left happy to be so blessed to have known Uncle Ralph in his life. With love, Dane

Dear Becky, I am so sorry to hear from Sherri Nored, of the death of your dearly loved husband and partner in ministry, Ralph. Even though I never met him, your love and care for each other and people from all walks of life, was evident in the stories you shared with me. I particularly remember the stories of how you and he would purchase, transport and prepare all the food for youth camp on Jeckyll Island. I don't remember how many years you had done that, but it was quite a few. I was impressed that you would do this so selflessly and that you would do it as a happily married Christian couple. You helped me through a very difficult time and I will always remember the things I learned from you. God Bless you, Becky, and may he give you peace and comfort in the days ahead. With love and appreciation, Gale Blankenship

Becky, we are so sad to hear this news. You and Ralph were the first to welcome us up to Northeast GA when we moved to Dawsonville, and your kindness and Christian love infected everyone with whom you came into contact. You and Ralph made a powerful team, and we know that even your great loss is Jesus' greatest joy. May you be at peace and in anticipation of a miraculous reunion. Sending hugs and prayers to you. Love, Lisa Jo and Russell Cash

Dear Becky, Walter told us last night about Ralph. I am so sorry your sweet and kind husband has passed away. He was always so generous and welcoming to us when we visited Georgia, beaming that radiant smile of his. I know, of course, that he will be in your heart always, however, this has to be such a sad and difficult time. Reid and I are thinking about you and your children. Love, Robin Reid, Quentin and Norah
