Cheryl, it's added so much to our lives to have spent some time at church with you and Ron. Knowing that will always be special to us. Could not have spoken for Ron better than in the note "Going Home"..."My life's been full, I've savored much. Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch."
Love from Jim and Mozelle McKenzie

I admire Ron for many reasons... his love for Cheryl and his family, his sense of humor (RUDY!!!), his helpfulness, integrity and honesty as a salesman (that's why we moved to Terra Vista) and so much more. Love you, miss you, bye...

Cheryl: While neighbors in California we shared many wonderful hours playing Bridge and helping each other on various projects. I often think of the fun and teasing Ron and I endured over some of the antics we had with the wheelbarrow and your old station wagon. We have not been as close over the last few years, but you have often been in our thoughts. We will cherish the memories of Ron and the experiences we shared together.

Dear Cheryl:

Jackie and I were away when Ron passed. We would like to offer our condolences to you and your family. Ron and I often chatted when we worked together at Terra Vista sales and had a lot in common. I have empathy with you as I went through a similar situation as care giver to my wife. Citrus County Hospice were a wonderful during this period.
If there is anything I con do for you please don't hesitate to call.

Dear Cheryl, Separation from our loved ones is not easy, and I send my deepest sympathies, to you and your family. Thank goodness it is only a short time, in the Grand Scheme of things. Let's keep in contact, dear cousin.
