It is so hard to believe such a sweet, kind man is gone. I had the privilege of being his friend for 30+ years. Ronnie had an amazing capacity to love and never hold a grudge or bitterness against anyone. Ronnie and all the O'Berry's are the most generous, giving people I've ever known. They were the first family at Central Hill Baptist Church to make me feel liked I'd always been part of their family and the church family when I met them in 1988. Ronnie once told me I made him a better man for knowing me. Actually, he made me a better woman for knowing him. My deepest sympathies to the whole family and the community. We all lost a rare and beautiful soul when we lost Ronnie. Praise the Lord that we have the blessed hope of Jesus' return to give us comfort that soon we will all be together again.

Losing someone that we love never comes easy.
It is truly heartbreaking. May God's promises in
Isaiah 65:17 comfort and help you.

Michael and I send love and healing prayers for your family. I know that Ronnie's faith was strong and that he is free of worldly suffering and pain. I know that we always hurt and miss our loved ones when they go, but knowing they are now our guardian angels and are watching over us until we join them once again to rejoice in God's love helps heal some of that pain.
