Not long ago, I walked through this same sorrow when I had to say goodbye to my own father, who was the same age as Ron. So I understand how painful and difficult this journey through grief can be.
But the truth Christ left us is the promise of eternity. And we know that everything that ends in Heaven ends well.
May the sweet Holy Spirit bring comfort, peace, and strength to each member of Ron’s family and to all his friends during this time of sorrow.
We are deeply sorry for your loss.

We’re so sorry to hear about Ronald’s passing. Our hearts go out to Ira, Carol and Brian along with his children and grandchildren. Ira, Nancy Ronald and Brian were always a blessing to me in my childhood I always felt like Ronald and Brian were like my big brothers. I can’t put into words how much all of them mean to me and how much I always appreciate all of them. I’m so glad Ronald and Brian found the loves of their lives with Carol and Deanna. They both are such blessings to our big family.
Ira Carol and Brian if there is anything we can do just let us know. I’m always here if you ever need to talk. I’ll be praying for you all to have strength and peace to get through today. One day we will join him in heaven and our family circle has grown some more in heaven. Til we meet again my sweet brother. Ira, Brian and Carol just take the time you need one day at a time. Call me anytime if you ever need to talk.

Carol, my prayers are with you and your family. I sure miss our game nights together or maybe the guys watching whatever sport was on and we girls just visiting. Now Ron is visiting with Jesus and we are in another “room” until we can join them. Love and miss you all, Genny.
