Joan, Kathy and family,

I was so saddened to hear of Ron's passing. It is with a heavy heart that I write this. Ron was a wonderful person and a great person. I remember his stories that he would share with me at work and looked forward to our conversations. I will keep you all in my prayers during this very difficult time.
