Ann, I was so sorry to hear about Ron's passing. I didn't know him very well but, when I was in his company, he seemed to be a very nice guy. Funny and he only had eyes for you.

Ann,
I am so sorry for your loss. From what I've been reading in this guest book, I can see that you and your husband got to experience one of those very rare relationships. Truly a love story. A match made in heaven.
When I look at you I always see a strong, compassionate, caring, confident woman. Someone that people look up to.
What a wonderful example that sets for your daughter. I have no doubt that she has learned to be all these things and more.
So I believe that even in this darkest time of your lives, you will be each others strength.

What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose.

Just remember that behind the darkest clouds, the sun is still shining.

Dear Maggy, I am so very sorry for your loss of your wonderful son. I can not say how you get through these days and bear such a loss. However I do know that somehow we do survive and although it is hard to imagine right now, with the passing of time, your tears will be displaced with smiles and even a chuckle or two as you are able to call up memories of happy silly times that you all have shared and enjoyed. My thought and prayer are with you.

Dear Maggy and family,
Words will never express my sorrow for you in the loss of your son... husband ...father.
Ronny was a great guy. I knew that from the way you spoke of your beloved Zach when he was young and I observed that whenever I spoke with him at work. He loved his family: adored his wife and daughter. And you, my dear friend, Maggy... was not only his mother but his friend.
We will miss him... he left this earth way too soon.
I am grateful that his suffering is over and that he rests peacefully in his Gram's arms.
Try to take comfort in the memories of the good days.
You will see him again.. I believe that... and hope that you can too.

Elsie Ray

August 29, 2008

Dear Maggy,
I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to view this Guest Book for Ronny. I have a better sense now of him. He seemed much as I expected. What a beautiful baby and handsome man God gave you to raise. Try to fill the hole in your heart with your memories and feeling of love and pride in your son until you meet him again in the place prepared by our Lord. Your friend, Elsie

Loosing a loved one is never easy.
There are no words to make the pain go away... but for a moment, think of something that Ron did that made you laugh, and that thought will bring a smile to your face. It sorta warms the heart.

Dear Ann and Crissy,
May I remind you there is a loving and merciful God who is aware of your suffering.
Crissy, your Dad adored you! He was so proud of you. You were the joy of his life and his "little Nordie".
Ann, you were so loved by Ron! From the time he met you in school, you were the only woman he ever loved. He asked me once, "how did I get so lucky to get Ann in my life"?
I know the joys, fun, and challanges you guys shared, and the love you shared for each other and your beautiful daughter. She will be your comfort now....
I want to thank you both for loving and caring for my precious baby boy.........
Mom

Ron what could I say, you are the reason that I woke up everyday. You are the love and soulmate of my life. One thing I learned from you was to NOT go through life but to live life to the fullest. I will cherish everything that we had. We had our beautiful daughter, and what a gift that has been. Nobody will know how much that I loved you, and will miss you, you have been my heart and soul for so long words could never cover what I feel for you. The times we shared no words could ever explain my love for you. I will move on everday, because you would want me to, but it will always be with a heavy heart. I will miss you and when I get to be with you again it will be the next happiest of my life beside meeting you, loving you, and having the perfect family with our beautiful daughter crissy. Until I see you again please hold a spot for me. I will always love you, and miss you. You are my bff forever...I love you with all of my Heart.........Ann:)
