Ralph had been battling cancer for almost a year. Through it all, our confidence was in the Lord. He would say
that God was going to heal him, either
here on earth or give him ultimate healing in heaven. God chose to give him
ultimate healing in heaven. His prayer
throughout this journey was that he
would not bring disgrace on the name of
the Lord by whatever he said or did.
God granted his request. He continued
to be a witness for the Lord through it
all.
Thanks to all who prayed for us. Thanks
for your encouraging cards and notes.

THE GREEN FAMILY

For the first time in six years our whole family was together. We are so thankful to our church that
provided housing for us so we could all have a place to gather. Starting from the left is Ralph, IIIs, family.
First is our granddaughter Rachel and her husband Thomas Miller and their two boys, John Thomas and
Cameron. I am holding their little daughter. Ginny, our second granddaughter, and her husband Stephen
Deason and their son Landon are next. The guys are students at Southwestern Seminary, preparing for ministry. The next three are Ralph and Cheryls youngestBethany, a manager at Starbucks in Maryland,
Ralph IV, in the Air Force, stationed in Pensacola, FL. and Garrett, a Junior in high school. Then is Ralph
and Cheryl Green, our son and his wife. They were so helpful in taking care of Ralph. Next are Rhonda,
our daughter, and her husband Steve Nicholes. Their children are Benjamin, a Junior at Liberty studying
Graphic Design with a computer science minor. Anna is a student at the Bible Institute on Jeju Island,
South Korea. Daniel, age 16, and Abby, age 12, are being home schooled by their mother. We are so
blessed by our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Addison Lynn, our first great granddaughter who is in heaven, got to see her great grandpa when he entered heaven.
