My sympathies to Ronald's family and loved ones. I only knew Ronald while we were schooled at what was Navajo Methodist Mission School. I remember he was always smiling or laughing. A happy spirit.

My dear brother of whom I have wonderful memories...his daily visits filled with stories about the "Cuddy" hills, his hilarious jokes, and giving spirit kept me company during a summer I spent sculpting in clay...to my Auntie and sisters, may the Lord bless and comfort you. My love and prayers are with you all.
