They were both a positive influence in my life and I will never forget them. Marilyn, my family and I have enjoyed , so much, getting to know you. You are a delightful lady, and I'm so glad, you and Uncle Ronder had your years together. We all look forward to seeing you soon. Love, Bill Rosford and Family

I was saddened to hear of Uncle Ronder's passing and I am sorry for the pain you feel now but we truly can celebrate and give thanks for a long life well lived. I think someone should raise a glass and say "Well done!!" What a blessing to know God has just called one of His children home and also to know that we will be together again.
God bless each of you.
