I loved Ronnie like a brother (he was my cousin). Like another of our cousins (Monica) he passed so closely to his next birthday. I will always miss Monica and Ronnie. Both of them were always so gracious and loving towards me and welcomed me to the family with open arms and open hearts from the moment I met them. Both of them have special places in my heart forever. My deepest heartfelt sympathy to Aunt Margaret and Pam whom I also dearly love. I share in your tears and sorrow. The heartbreak of losing your only son and brother must be unbearable. Know that I share in your tears and sorrow and heartbreak. Rest in PEACE, Ronnie! Give Uncle Don hugs for me.
