Pam, What can we say? Ron was a friend, and showed up when you least expected him to. We are temporarily living in FL with my sister while Wayne receives his C treatments. So sorry this is late, thought of what to say for months and still can't put the feelings into words.

Pammy,Jackie and family, I just wanted to let you know that I think of you all often, but especially now. When I lost my dad, someone gave me this and it has helped time and again.
Nature had a season for the seed, the flower, and the falling leaf.
And life will hold a reason for new joy, beyond the present grief.
We know that life goes on, that every Spring, the flowers will appear, the birds will sing again.
We know that in our hearts, the memory of those whom we have loved, will go on living - forever. Take care!
