Amy and Emily, I am so sorry for your loss. I know what your going through, my father passed away in March and its been hard on our family, just remember that even though its hard, it gets easier with time and prayer. Keep his memory alive. I met your dad few times at fundraisers for the Air Force retired. He was a kind and giving man. I will keep you all in my prayers!

My memories of Ronnie and the Sims family are fond ones. Although we didn't spend a ton of time together as we always lived in different places, the few occassions my sister, my mom, and my dad spent with Ronnie, Jayne, Bryan, and Amy were always fun times. What a welcoming, joyful family. Prayers to you--Jayne, Bryan, Amy and the rest of the family. I'm so happy to hear that Ronnie is a brother in Christ, so as my dad said, I too look forward to seeing him in Heaven to share in the ultimate joy of our Savior's presence. May God bless the Sims family.

If this is a duplicate message please forgive me. I had written my message but was kicked off line before knowing if it was transmitted.
Sweet memories~! Ronnie and I shared a few of those together just a couple of weeks ago when he called me and we had a nice long visit. We ended our conversation committing to visit each other soon. Sad that it won't happen on this earth, but I rejoice that we'll soon have that visit in our eternal heavenly home. RIP my brother.
