Condolences to the Ramus family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family. Psalms 147:3 says God, "heals the broken hearted, and binds up their wounds." May God bring you comfort and peace.

Precious memories of my "Beloved Brother". We shared many laughs and smiles when he would visit . His favorite dish was Louisiana Gumbo which I would fix for him. I will miss those frequent phone calls too. When the Lord calls our loved ones home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange. Rest In peace my dear Brother. Your Loving Sister,

What our families say...

In my opinion, there is no better facility in Virginia than Altmeyer Funeral Homes. Not only was Chris Sisler there to hold my hand every step of the way, his family members were holding the door on the day of the funeral to help and encourage me. I will never forget their grace. He led me and my family through the process as a personal friend and neighbor, and as the ultimate professional.
