This is a beautiful tribute to our dear friend, Ralf, and I will miss her too. I've tried to write a poem as well, but the words keep getting stuck. I'm sure we will all meet up in Heaven, (I said, hoping God lets me in) it will be a wonderful day when we do. I love your poem, dear friend, and I know Ralf was looking over your shoulder as you wrote it. Love and hugs, Sandra xx

Roy, this is a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to Ralf for her passing and her talent as a writer.
What is the most compelling and heartwarming about this tribute is a celebration of Ralf's faith and that she has started her new "life" with the angels and God's presence.
Blessings,
Mary

Roy, this was the most graceful, heartfelt farewell to Rafaellina. I liked how said that "joy is there to stay." Loved your stairwell to heaven artwork; and all your words of comfort and hope for Ralph.

She would have been proud of this tribute.

Favorite lines, among many:

I know you dwell where angels are,
beyond all trouble moon or star.
Before your Saviour face to face,
embrace the source of love and grace

Thanks for this tribute to Raffaelina. A beautiful good-bye.

Hello Roy,
What a great tribute to Ralphinia. I only read one or two of her pieces, but I enjoyed them. You chose a perfect picture for this. Thanks for sharing this.
Have a blessed day.

She is a wonderful spirit, then and now. I feel her faith-filled presence, her steady hand, her always encouraging words and I am so very sorry for her family and friends as they mourn her. Like you, I know she is in a place of glory. I will never forget her...

Hi Roy, that was a wonderful contribution to the tributes written to Ralf. I was really saddened when I learned that she'd passed away.
You have written a beautiful poem in her memory. Ulla:)))
