I don´t think I´ll ever know what to say. And I never expected this time in our lives to come but now I have to do things without your being here. I´m not gonna be able to run home to you whenever I want to tell my papa something. You are one of most important people in my life and it´s breaking me that you´re no longer here. I love you more than anything papa and I´m gonna miss you. I know you´re not physically here with us but you are defiantly mentally here with me. I have my necklace and your love with me every day I love you papa!

I remember Ron being a wonderful, patient, and loving father, grandfather, and brother in law, more of a brother than a brother in law. We had so many laughs over the years and a special connection that only a few understood. I will miss "Big Daddy" greatly. I love you and it's not goodbye, I will see you later. Love, Laurie
