Thank you for sharing this tribute to Raphaelina. I am familiar with her write, but I have come to understand that I have missed a wonderful lady. It is my loss. I will pray for her family and friends.

-Lovely artwork and nice presentation, Roy.
-I think Ralf would love the artwork and poem.
-You have used many comforting images that
say things that are difficult for some of us to express.
-I think she is in a good place, too, free from troubles and pain.
-I like these lines very much:
"We'll miss you Ralf, while we are here,
we'll celebrate, yet shed a tear."
-Thanks for sharing this.

This is a well written suscinct poem in honor of Ralf. It is sad that she died. But you are right that we will see her again. She was a good writer and a kind reviewer.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Beautiful tribute to Ralf...

I can not believe the leukemia claimed her life so quickly, but then maybe our Lord had other plans for this sweet woman. Her faith was strong and her love and willingness to help others is deserving of every accolade given to her. I know she sits at the Lord's feet and is smiling down on all who loved her. She will be missed on FanStory and with anyone who had the privilege to know her.

This is a lovely for in honor of Ralf. She was a favorite and I really enjoyed reading her story. She wrote it a fiction but it was her personal story and it was very different from mine in some way but like mine in others.

That is a lovely tribute to Ralf. I only knew her for a year, but she welcomed me from the start and was always very gracious and encouraging. She will be sorely missed. Well written.

This lovely, reverent poem skillfully and expressively speaks of the sweet Ralf, who has recently died, and the incomparable beauty and peace of Heaven, where she now rejoices.

This is a lovely tribute to Raphaelina. There is so much hope for eternal life in the poem and a chance to keep on writing when she's departed this life for another.

You have added a wonderful tribute to Ralf's memorial book with this lovely poem written in rhyming couplets. I am positive she would have truly appreciated the heartfelt warmth of your words.

What a beautiful and thoughtful tribute, Roy. I didn't know this person, but I felt so touched by your kind words.

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.

Loved this.
Well done.
Blessings,
Jan
