Ms Ann, Ms Pearl, Rc, and all of Ralph Pullens family, may your hearts be filled w comfort, thru this sad time. Ralph will surely be missed by so many. He may be finally resting in peace, but he will forever be remembered & stories shared forever. The park will surely miss him & his humor. God Bless you all!
Ernie and I will dearly miss you Ralph! We’ve only known you a short time but it feels like we were kindred spirits. We’ll miss hearing your gator ride through the park checking out the scenery and making sure everything was on the up and up. You may be gone but only physically! Spiritually we know you’ll still be around. To those you’ve left behind may they be comforted by the prayers I’m sure that are being sent in Jesus’ name for them. God Bless you Dear Friend!

To Ann, RC, Pearl, Christy, Debbie and all the grands, nephews and nieces.
Ralph lived a full life and I'm so sorry for the grief you bear.
He was the last of the Pullen siblings to leave this earth for greener pastures. He was the brother of my father, Leonard and although we did not have occasion to visit much we would often hear dad say what trips and things Ralph and the family would take.
He was blessed with wives, children and grandchildren who loved him dearly and looked up to him.
I know how hard it is to stand by and feel we can do nothing as I felt that very thing when my dad died of cancer. The last two weeks of his life were horrific and just as hard as I prayed for his healing, I realized that God was not going to answer that prayer, so I prayed He would bring him relief. So God took him home as a baby Christian.
You see, dad (Leonard) gave his life to Christ during his brief cancer diagnosis.
I pray that there was a time and place that all the siblings, (Irene, Leonard my dad, Grace, Ellis and now Ralph), gave their life to Christ, for if they did, they are all together now. For to be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord. There is no holding place. Their soul immediately goes to heaven.
So while we are still on this earth, we will mourn and miss our loved ones until we meet again. I pray God will wrap His loving arms around you all and give you peace. I pray He gives mercy and forgiveness for those whom we think have wronged us or our loved ones. I pray that hearts and lives will be mended.
Our lives are but a vapor. We know not what today or tomorrow will bring. But living knowing that any moment could be our last should encourage us to live life in the love and light of Christ. Every look, every word, every deed should be done in the love of Christ. We are not our own, nothing we have is our own. God created us and what we have is His.
Ralph's picture depicts a gentle giant, happy and full of life. Remember him for the way he touched your life. Remember his accomplishments and learn from his defeats. Every life is sacred and precious. Just as the sand is an irritant to the diamond. With prolonged friction it can create the most precious and beautiful gem ever seen.
May all of us allow God to mold us into the most beautiful gems that we can spread the light of His love to all the world.
Rest in Peace, Ralph and may the glory of God's goodness continue to fall on your family.
