Ronnie, you & Emma have left a positive imprint on my life. You were wonderful foster parents to me during some of the most difficult times in my life (teen years).

I am so sorry for your loss. Emma was an outstanding human being; full of love, compassion, and genuine concern. She will be greatly missed, and forever cherished.

Love you all.

Ron,
Ever since I have known you I have admired you for who you are and what you do. You are both such loving and wonderful people.

Gina and family, Ronnie, Andrea, Jason, Elena, Tony, Bella, I know that for a bit it will be exceptionally tough on all of you. Your mom was a fantastic person with a heart of gold. Please know that she is smiling down upon you all and will be watching you as she always has.

May God give you a chance to smile again soon. Emma would have wanted that. You know that we love you!

Uncle Ronnie and Family...I am sorry for the loss. I think Emma and I shared a great bond with her being my godmother and I was her name sake. I hope that you will call open people when you need them. I LOVE YOU UNCLE RONNIE AND I WILL BE THERE FOR YOU!

My mom eventhough she took care of me 4 a few years! She was my mom! My favorite memory of her was the first she told me that she loved me and I was her daughter.
