To Doris,Ricky,Gary and Family,
What a great sorrow and great loss I feel. Ronald was a truly wonderful friend, husband, and grandfather. I know he’s in a better place and what joy it was to know that he was a christian man. We live our life here on earth on borrowed time, but hope that this time never comes. Only too soon! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I Love You guys always!
Thanks for letting me know this special man.

Doris, We were so sorry to hear about Ronnie. Don and I will always remember his smile, his laugh and what a friendly person he was to everyone he met. May God keep you in his care during this time in your life. Know that Ronnie is in a better place and is watching over you and the rest of the family. He will never be far away from you. Also remember, that you will meet up with him once again in heaven. He will hold a candle up for you so that you will be able to find him. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Ricky and Gary, Don and I are both thinking of you during this time. Seeing that we both have been down this road, we understand how much it hurts and how sad this can be. Know that your dad is watching down on the two of you and how proud he was and will always be of the two of you. You were wonderful sons to him and you both are great legacies to his memory. We will all be together again someday. Until then, remember the good times and memories and when he ‘talks’ to you, and he will, above all else,listen with your heart. We love you both.
Julie, Brooke and Brandon, Don and I were sorry to hear about your loss. Remember that he loved you all so much and was so proud of the wonderful family that he had. Julie, you were very special to him and he loved you so much. Brooke & Brandon, it is hard to lose someone that we love. Just remember that your grandpa is watching over you and will be with you every step of the way. You won’t be able to see him, but he will be there. Continue to make him proud. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you.
