To all of Uncle Ron's Family , Friends and loved ones.
My prayers, thoughts and well wishes during this time are with you all. I pray that God will give you the strength and may the love of those around you and in prayer provide comfort and peace to get you all through the days ahead.
Uncle Ron was a man that put so many smiles on so many, everyone that knew him. He gave his all to everything he did and expected nothing in return but a big smile and a big hug. He was one of a kind. If there were more like him this world sure would be a better place.
I am honored and blessed to have been able to share in his life and wonderful spirt. He was truly a blessing to me and everyone that knew him.
Losing someone we love so much is nothing easy.
Despite the lose of his physical presence He will be terribly missed. He was loved by all of us and will be cherished in our memories forever. All the wonderful times spent together and his zest for life are what we have to remember. I have so many and I'm sure you all do to. He will forever remain in our hearts and never forget him. I'm sure God had the gate wide open for him.
May he rest in Peace! Hopefully one day we will all be reunited together in the next life.
Wishing you peace to bring comfort and courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in our hearts.
May God bless and watch over you all always.
With deepest sympathy.
