I have been thinking about you a lot, especially this time of year, and how much you used to love the family getting together , always thanking us for coming, and me thanking you for being there...A lot has changed, but I am sure you already know, I miss you daddy, always will ...especially your surprise visits....

December 21, 2016

Hi Daddy, boy do I miss talking to you and going to lunch. I hope you never thought I was in a hurry, because I wasn't- I loved the tues and thurs we were together. Everything we do at the house we always wonder what you would say- we have new porch furniture, and we even talked about how you would have liked it. Every time I hung out clothes this winter I thought of you! I am just so glad your heart and body is not broken anymore. Savannah still remembers crossing her arms like you, and I can't even IMAGINE what you would think of Spence now- he is a Pistol! I miss you so much, but wouldn't wish you back to this world for anything. I'll see you someday, I love you.

May 23, 2016

In memory of a very special uncle... we shall always miss his smile and sense of humor. We will treasure the memories of the times we shared. Uncle Ronnie was one of a kind. It's hard to believe that he's already been with the Lord for a year. May God continue to bless and keep his family until they are reunited with him in eternity...
