Mr. Ronnie was a colorful character, a smart man and he knew the worth of the public servants. I'm very sorry for your loss as well as the loss of your Mom. It hurts to lose our parents. May God give you peace, strength and comfort as only He can.

I am so saddened to hear of Mr. Ronnies passing. It is such a shame that times are like they are and people cannot pay proper respects. Lisa, I am so sorry for your loss especially so close to losing Ms Gloria. I always enjoyed the times I was able to see yall. I can only pray that my children will be as good to me when I get older and do the same for me. I am praying for treasured memories to bring you and Mr. Ronnies children comfort during this time. Macon has lost a true hero to our city....
