To My Coal Mining Husband
Often when under the mountains you go
To make us a living by mining coal
To God above a prayer I pray
That He keep you safe throughout the day.
That He'll bring you home to your family you love
That we may strive together for that home above
With strength and health for your body He'll supply
And when you need Him most, He'll hear your cry.
When morning comes and off to work you go
My loneliness for you I try not to show
Patiently through the day I wait
And trust you with God by His marvelous faith.
Many dangers could come throughout the day
That from your family you'd be taken away
But on bended knees I often say
God keep him safe through another day.
And when to that beautiful home we go
With friends and relatives whom we love so
You'll never know the joy there is in my heart
At the thought of being together and never apart.
With an honest heart I thank God above
For you, a husband he gave me to love
Yet many things in life we don't understand
But by the love He has given us we walk hand in hand.
Vivian Treadway

Dad and Mom, I sure do miss you both. I never look at the beautiful flowers, that God has allowed, without thinking of the care and attention to detail, that you (Dad) tended to one of God's most precious gifts. Love you and miss you. Your son, Timmy

I just remember ralph and vivian from church and the reunion. But we offered many nights to help them carry out their instruments and they most of the time wouldnt let us help them.One night after church i told vivian that she reminded me of mrs clause and they both laugh so hard they didnt know what to think of me.

I will always remember Bro. Ralph sittint up there playing his guitar and steel in church. He was always happy and full of cheer. He has given my family and I a lot of apples too. I still have apple butter in here made with his wolf river apples. My family loves it! My prayers go out to the family...I know how it feels to lose a parent. My mom was Dora Lee Loudermilk and she passed away almost 9 years ago. She is the one that made your mom and dad's 50th wedding cake. Fond memories will alwa... » read more

My Prayers are with the whole family. Ive only known Ralph and Vivian for 5 years and I enjoyed watching and hearing them play guitar and sing at church! Ralph was a wonderful man.

My thoughts and prayers are with Vivian as well as the rest of the family! Im sure he will be trult missed but the memories of him WILL live on! God Bless you all in your time of sorrow!!
