To Ralph Paulson family, please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss. I will always have fond memories of Ralph when I was growing up in Petersburg, ND, he always was so kind to me and I will always value his friendship towards my parents and myself. Everytime I was up in the Petersburg area and saw Ralph we always had such good visits. When my parents moved into the Good Samaritan Center in Larimore, I would see Ralph often there when I would visit my parents. Ralph will be missed by all of us who had the pleasure to know him. Again my deepest sympathy. G. Wentzel Stavig

You have our love, our prayers and our deepest sympathies. Uncle Ralph will be greatly missed by his family and friends but so much happier that he is now together again with Auntie Norma.. May beautiful memories sustain you and may God be with you to help and guide all of you through this difficult time and in the days to come. God bless you and know that we love all of you. When tomorrow starts without me And I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, In heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do. It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, Just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized, That this could never be, For emptiness and memories, Would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne, He said, "This is eternity, And all I've promised you." Today your life on earth is past, But here life starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last, And since each day's the same way There's no longing for the past. You have been so faithful, So trusting and so true. Though there were times You did some things You knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven And now at last you're free. So won't you come and take my hand And share my life with me. So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart. Author Unknown
