To Ron's family, We were so sorry to see that Ron had passed. We keep informed as much as possible through Nate. He was a nice guy and he has already been missed by us. We're his next door neighbors. The Kollers. To all of you who know us, we're so sorry for your loss. If there is anything we can do, let us know. To Janet, try to hold on to the best memories, and let the others go. I know it's been a bad time for you too, but know you are in our thoughts and prayers too.
