So sorry to learn of Ronnie’s passing. Debbie, Jodi and the rest of the family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God comfort and strengthen you during this time.
I’ve never known a more kind spirited, loving and devoted family man than Ronnie. He was a joy to be around, just because he was Ronnie. Always smiling and happy. He is now in a perfect place by God’s design, continuing to be who we all knew him to be. He is going to be missed by each one who knew him, particularly by Debbie and their children. God has given us the emotion of grief, which is all part of our healing, but forget, we’ll never do. All of us are richer just having known him. My continued prayers to you Debbie and your dear family. In His Love
