I am so sorry that we lost touch. I too remember all the good times that we had at MAMA's, the barbeques and the riding in the fields in the truck at the old Cooper Place. What I would not give to go back to those times. Ronald you will be greatly missed. I can not think of Athens without thinking of you. I know that you are now with Uncle Billy and Aunt Edith watching over the rest of the Cooper's. Clint may God bless you in this time.

Your cousin,

My deepest sympathy goes out to Ronnie's family. Ronnie was like a brother to me, as I child I enjoyed the times we spent playing together at Uncle Billy's "Coopers Drive In". I am currently deployed with the Navy, and I want his family to know that they are in my thoughts and prayers. Ronnie Roberts(cousin).
