I will always remember Uncle Ron as the Uncle who always had a smile on his face and was willing to help everyone who needed it. We kids always had such a great time playing with Brad, Keith and Cheri at their home,expecially in the summer when we would sneek into the living room to lay on the sofa and love seat covered with plastic that was so cool in the summer. :)

And I will aways remember you for your devotion to Mom during the last part of her life..............................even despite your illness. You are now together and can enjoy being with all those who have gone before us.

The rest of us have to continue with our daily lives...........but as long as a person is remembered and thought of, they are truly never gone!
