I had the pleasure of meeting Ronnie on Girl's Day out with my mother Shirley Kaupas and Aunt Barbara Burr. She was a lovely lady with whom we enjoyed spending time. Mom and Aunt Barb have passed in the timeframe since Ronnie has gone for which I am sure they all enjoy their Girl's Day now, reminiscing and sharing stories of their beloved families. Sending hugs and saying prayers; missed but fondly remembered.

Ellen and Terry,
So sorry to hear this sad news - I remember from so long ago your dear Mom and what a sweetheart she was to all us kids. She was such a good friend to my own Mom when we were growing up in Avon (across from Towpath Elementary!) May happy memories keep her warm in your hearts, my condolences to you and all your family!
