Chip and family,
I continue to think of you and the kids...what an inspiration and testimony you are! What a beautiful celebration of Ronnie's life you had at SMRBC! I know you will have moments when you will miss her so much, and be sad again. But, God is GOOD! and will continue to carry you in his arms when you need it most. I miss seeing and chatting with Ronnie in the halls between services, but I look forward to seeing her again. Much love

The children at SMRBC CDC loved Ronnie, my daughter Lauren included. She was always so nice and helpful to the parents and children, and she will be greatly missed. Your family is in our prayers, and my Sunday School class at Hatcher Memorial is praying for you too. May God comfort you and bless you with many wonderful memories.

To Chip, Rebecca, Jonathan, Mr. and Mrs. Ward, and Mrs. Lichvar our sincere sympathy in your loss.
The first time being together with Chip and Ronnie that I can see in my mind is when Rebecca was a baby and we were at Betty's house. And, as the years went by, Chip having a lunch packed by Ronnie and her bringing his bowling money to him at his desk. And then there was every night that Ronnie would bring the children to the hospital, their supper in hand, to be with Chip while they awaited his new heart.
I cherish having the opportunity to be a part of this family's life for at least 20 years. I'll always remember Ronnie's outpouring love for her husband and children. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find comfort knowing that Ronnie is now dancing with God and is suffering no more.
With Love,
Loretta and Ray
