[Gpdd] [Rainbow Bridge] Dear Ralphy is Gone

[Audrey Binder]

I am broken-hearted to tell you that our beloved Ralphy Lauren has died.  He was six and a half years old, and had been doing poorly the past several weeks.  He was such a sweet and brave little piggie, who survived a cancer surgery last year, as well as 2 bladder stone surgeries (one last year and another this year).
Ralphy was one of the Peter Gurney Memorial organizers for the past 6 years, along with his friends Nugget, Stewart Little, and more recently, Scottie.  It was a job he loved doing.
He got his name because of his coloring - he looked like he was wearing beautiful clothes.
Everyone who met him loved him, and his wonderful vet and staff are also very sad. They all had a special bond with Ralphy, who was so brave and such a fighter for life during the difficult Covid year.
Please say a prayer for our beloved Ralphy, who touched everyone's heart on the Peter Gurney Memorial.  His Moma Rickie and I will miss him terribly, until we meet again at Rainbow Bridge.
