Deanna and family,
My condolences on the passing of Ronnie, your brother. Although we are first cousins, I didn't know him. I know, Deanna, that you took very good care of him and that he was very fortunate to have such a sister. I cannot make it to the funeral tomorrow but you will be in my thoughts and prayers as you grieve for your brother.
With Sympathy,
Marla Carroll

I had the pleasure of working with Ronnie while he was at CCAR. Ronnie had a good since of humor. He would always ask me if I had the checks ready, he knew when payday was. He will be missed.

I'm sorry for your loss but I realize the time had come. May you find peace during this time of sorrow. Ronnie always seemed to appreciate a friendly word when I ran into him in the hallway at Heartland.
