Sandy and Allen, I was saddened to learn of Ronnie's passing. I Remember enjoying his visit to Marblehead in 1956 and my visit to California in April, 67. It was shortly after our grandmother Nana Dwyer died. I visited with Ron and you Sandy, Patti and Ron and Ruth. The visit was at Patti and Ron's house. I only wish there could have been more visits.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerly, Fred Chapman (son of Eleanor Dwyer).

Dear Sandy and Alan:
I was very sorry to hear about Ronnie. I am his and Patti's cousin. My mother was their fathers sister Eleanor. Though its been many years since we've seen each other, Ronnie was never forgotten.
I, along with my wife Terry,will remember Ronnie in our prayers.

Dear Sandy and Alan,
I'm sorry to hear about my half-brother Ronnie's passing. The last time I saw Ronnie I think he was 16 or 17 so I really appreciated when you sent the pictures of all of you from Alan's wedding a while back. I saw a very happy and proud man and a happy family in those photos. I just wish we could have seen each other in person, but the miles between Massachusetts and Arizona were just too great. (I moved to Maryland last year) My thoughts and prayers will be with you.
Take Care, Marianne
