Dearest Linda, friend,
I was just looking you up to ask you a question.
My last Christmas card to you both was returned so I have been unable to contact you for quite a while.
How upset I was to see this obituary for dear Ron and such a long time ago. How are you dear sister?
I have such loving memories of you both, your kindness to me when I was in so much pain.
Inviting Graham and I to your home so that Ron could treat me daily. The journey from England was so painful but at the end of the week with you I had the hope and experience that I could indeed be able to live life again and be free of pain.
Ron's gift of healing, kindness and compassion was felt by so many. He lived his passion which many people only dream of. His practice members must also be missing his loving care so much, what a great loss to the world.
If you would care to contact me I am at the same email and phone number.
I send you love and every blessing.
Delya Bull ❤

Oh Linda, I am just learning that Ron has passed. I was just looking you both up to make sure we can visit this summer. I'm sorry to have missed celebrating Ron at his memorial. I will light a candle here in CA for him and another for your heart, that it can hold his love forever. Bless you Linda and Gods Speed to my friend Ron. May he live a glorious new life!

Just learned of Ron's passing from the NUHS alumnus newsletter. We are so sorry to learn of your loss. I remember Ron as a classmate at National. I always appreciated his sense of humor, knowledge and kindness. I especially appreciated his knowledge of RS, which he introduced me to. This changed my life and later, my husband's, for which we will be forever grateful. The world is a better place as a result of Ron having been here.

Dear Linda, So sorry to read that Ron passed away. I know that it's almost a year, but I saw in the National newsletter just yesterday. I don't know if you remember me, but I stayed at your house a few times when Mary Jo Cravatta came and taught. I always enjoyed those visits so much. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Linda, there are no words to express how sad I feel for your loss. I've been a patient of Rons for 34 years and found myself going to him for most of my health issues. I've never met a more knowledgable man. His genuine interest in his clients and love of his practice made every one of us feel like we were truely cared for. He even came into the office right up to the very end. He was my doctor and my friend. Next to my father, he has been the most influential mentor in my life and is being buried on the 26th anniversary of my fathers funeral. I will always be grateful to him and will miss him!

Dear Linda, We are so sorry to hear about Uncle Ronnie's sudden illness and passing along with the passing of your mother. Ronnie was always a go-to person in our family when it came to illness. I remember many trips to Milwaukee as a child and how Ronnie was the only one who was able to cure an illness that I had. I would have been a regular if I didn't live so far away! There's no doubt he made an incredible difference in the lives and health of family, friends and patients...and behind every great man, there is an equally great woman! We pray that you will have enduring strength to get past this most difficult time and can be comforted by the memory and a legacy of good that he brought to so many.
