Margie - I will always remember Ron as a man of his word and with a huge heart for God. I'll never forget going with him to Atlanta for a Holy Spirit Conference and the deep fellowship we shared. Please know that you are in our prayers and that Ellen and I are grateful for your friendship and support over the years. Chuck and Ellen Collins

We will stand together singing His praises just as we did side by side in the processional and the Liturgy for the Consecration of the Rt. Rev. Dr. Terrence Kelshaw. You turned to me and said, "I know you! Who are you?" We both knew all the words to the hymns and instantly we recognized a brother in Christ. I was privilege to lead worship a number of times while he and Margie vacationed and to assist the transition to the Rev William Scrantum's leadership by often presiding at the Table for Holy Communion. See you from this end of the Table today, my friend. . .
