Ron & Heather,
I am so sorry to hear about Ronnie. I can remember picking the boys up for school out at R6. Ronnie was the first one out to the car most of the time unless he had a bad morning with an asthma attack or something like that. He was always eager to lend a helping hand. Ronnie will be greatly missed by all. Just remember that God is carrying you at this time of your life & He will remain with you always. I will never forget that young man.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and i mean that from the bottom of my heart!!! Be there for each other and remember all the good times you all shared, as this is what will get you from day to day, I am truely sorry about the loss of your son.
