One this anniversary of Ronnie Fords passing, I am remembering as a High School Basketball teammate, and friend is quite demeanor and focus. If it were not for Ronnie shooting from the corner a lot of games we would have lost. To his family and friends rest in the knowing that heaven has a clutch player on God's team.
