Dear Ruth Ann; I am a voice from your past also. I was at Midway with you and Betty many years ago. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my husband 20 years ago. Your Lord, your family and your friends are you strength now, so lean on all of them. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Ruth Ann & Family,

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Being on vacation at the time, I was unaware of Ron's passing. Ruth Ann, it has been a long time since our days at Midway and our years of rooming together, but I have always considered you one of my best friends.Regretfully, we have not been able to keep in touch. Having lost my husband (whose birthday would have been today) several years ago, I can feel what each of you must be feeling at this time. May God bless you and comfort you. Isn't it wonderful that God gave us big hearts and minds to hold all the wonderful memories. Love to you, Betty

To the Kincer family,

It was my pleasure to work with Ron when we were both members of the Pikeville College Alumni Association Board of Directors. He was a faithful and dedicated member of our alumni board and he and Ruth Ann attended many alumni activities. He spoke to me several times of his children and their accomplishments; he loved and cherished his family. We at Pikeville College are grateful for his dedicated service and I am grateful for his friendship and service. May each of you find strength through your faith.
