[Gpdd] [Rainbow Bridge] Dear Ralphy is Gone

[Judi Lainer]

I’m so sad to hear about Ralph Lauren.  6 1/2 years is a wonderful life but it doesn’t make saying good-bye any easier.  Until we meet again, sweet boy. 💔

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).
