Ronnie was a joy to anyone that knew him. I cant tell you how much I am going to miss him. I meet a lot of different people in my job but there are those that touch my life and stay with me forever. Ronnie was one of those people. Glenda, my prayers and thoughts are with you.

To my Sister Ernestine and Glenda,
We all loved Ronnie and I know he will be missed.I know that he is in the arms of loving Lord Jesus. Ernestine I will always remember the times coming to your house and playing with Ronnie. We did like that Mac and cheese and hot dog you always fixed. Jesus said I go to prepare a place and where I am there you shall be also. Until then I send my Love.

To my Aunt Ernestine,and family, I am so heartbroken over Ronnie, but I know that he is with GOD in Heaven and he is no longer suffering with sickness and pain. My thoughts and prayer are with you all and I love you all so much.

For my cousin Ronnie:

Today our hearts are broken,
We are so very sad...
We've lost a Dear Dear Loved One
And we feel so bad.

We wanted to keep him....
Within our loving arms,
But, GOD saw how he was suffering,
And so, He called him home.

He now resides in Heaven,
With other Loves Ones, gone before,
He's in the arms of Jesus
Happy, Forever more.

Dearest Sis and family, There are no words to convey the grief and sorrow over the death of your precious Ronnie! As much as my heart yearns to give you words of comfort, ONLY God's Word can do that. 1st.Thess. 4:14," If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also who sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. V.18, " Wherefore comfort one another with these words." Phil. 1:2," Grace be unto you, and peace, from God, our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ." Sending love and prayers, your sis, Marie
