So sorry to hear of Ronald's passing. I am from way back in his growing up days.
I was at the Carrier home almost as much as I was at my own. Such a wonderful family. I am sure Ronald will be missed very much.

Dear Carrier Family, I am so sorry to hear about Ron's passing. I seen him about a year ago when I came down there looking for Neal and Kayla's dog when he ran out the door. I realized how frail he was then and I remember him telling me his oxygen was low. He was a fine neighbor while I lived on your street also. I am sure by the life I saw him live that he is waiting now in Heaven. May GOD bless you all and carry you through this sad ordeal. Love and Prayers to all, Virginia Daugherty
