  19. Tonya and Family,
    We are so sorry for your loss. The separation that death brings is difficult but Jesus took the sting of death and the penalty of death upon Himself, so we can have victory in death. May the Lord give you the peace and comfort you seek.
    Our Love in Jesus, Royce & Gwenda

  29. The Ronnie Mease Family. I am shocked, Ronnie always seemed so happy. For many years I have been blessed to have been friends with the Mease family. I will miss seeing Ronnie sitting on the front porch rocking and waving as I pass and also his great smile. May the Lord comfort you in your time of sorrow.

    Brad and I both are so sad to hear about Ronnie passing.

    I can’t think of a single time, he did not greet us with that big smile. He was one of the truest, sweetest, kindest person either of us have ever met.

    Sending many prayers to you all in this difficult time. He is in the arms of Jesus, and I know He has his you all in his loving arms as well.

    Love you guys,

    Brad & Sheila

Ronnie’s in heaven with Jesus he will be missed but he’s so much better off
