Sydney and family. It is still difficult to believe Ron is no longer with us but God will give all of us the strength to go on. I was advised by my doctor to not travel that far but I am so sorry I was unable to attend his Celebration of Life Service. I have always been proud of the life Ron lived, but he is in a far better place now. My love and prayers to you, David and Mary-Catherine, Ben and Jennifer and the two little ones, Hayden and Ashlyne.
