Ron, we will miss your strength, wisdom, and smiling face.You did what you wanted in life, and made the best of it. I know Nicholas is holding your hand and bringing you home. Hug him for us and let him know how much we miss and love him too. You will be truly missed by all of us. I never thought I'd see this day, for some reason I thought you would live forever. Until we meet again, know how much I loved you. Love your daughter-in-law. Kim
