I have learned that when someone dies it's a wonderful thing because he or she has moved on to a greater life experiences. This was taught to us as our african spirituality Therefore we
should not be sadden by Ronalds passing but rejoicing his death because being here on earth is one of the lowest form of existence.

To Mrs. Hattie & Mr C. and family: You have my deepest sympathy. I miss your beloved "Ronnie" so much. He was a close friend of mine. We enjoyed laughing together, sharing memories of Glendale Ave, cookouts where he would be on the grill,& most of all talking about family fun & church.You are not alone. My heart hurts for your loss & mine." Weeping last for a night but, joy" Ronnie was a good prayer warrior & he loved the Lord. He also loved doing God's work. You don't have to worry where his future will be. To be absent from the body is to be present in the Lord. He's safe in his arms. "sadly submitted"Shelia Hardy Banton & family".
