Not sure what to say?

I had the great joy of seeing the world with Roni. WOW! Thank you my friend for everything. I will share, as promised, your adventures with your children and your grand babies. Damn, that pizza in Italy was good.............and the chess set from Spain. I miss you every day.

I knew Roni for 28 years. She was a faithful client in my State Farm Insurance office and never called without making me laugh. She loved her kids and she saw the most humerous side of life. We will miss her wit and loyalty. She was a caring and great lady.

At times like this, we can't help remembering how fragile life is . . . may you find strength in the love of family and in the warm embrace of friends. In deepest sympathy.

~Roni~ I enjoyed working with you at SMMHC for many years. You always put a smile on my face and made me laugh with your dry sense of humor! You will always have a special place in my heart! I'm glad we were friends. I will miss you very much!! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am so thanksful for the friendship I had with Roni. I loved her quick wit and great sense of humor. I could always count on a good laugh and great time with Roni. I will miss her so much. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Sometimes one cannot find the words that accurately describe Roni. She is someone who I could turn to if I needed to figure out the best way to help a client. She took time to call and praise my efforts from time to time--making me feel special. Her sense of humor was unmatching. I often found myself smiling or quietly giggling about something she had said in her unique way. She often delivered powerful meaning with her humor. I feel so honored to have worked with Roni at SMMHC.

I had the pleasure to work for Roni when Crisis was at the old SSC building. I am grateful I had the opportunity to share both a professional and personal friendship with her. She will always be "" Roni the Crisis Queen "" to me .

I am so grateful to have had Roni in my life. Seeing her every morning here at work, sharing our breakfast, me - ceral and Roni - chicken noodle soup and diet coke. I will miss being able to call her name and her answer. I will never forget all those hours of you teaching me how to become "assertive" and learn to accept myself for who I am. Thanks for sharing with me your joys and your pain. You will always be with me in that Roni space in my heart.

I moved here 4 years ago and Roni took my under her wing and not only taught me everything I know about crisis but, included me in her family. She was and is a wonderful woman and one that I will never forget.
