A Tibute To Ronnie
We were special best friends. No one can ever really know how great a friendship we had. It knew no boundries when we had a meeting of the minds. Ronnie was always so open and sharing when we explored thoughts and ideas. And we explored so many regions of thoughts about philosophy, religion, human behavior, music, languages and life in general.
We spent many hours exploring music in so many aspects, playing Ronnie's favorites and mine. She enjoyed the challenge of adapting her favorites to the recorder while I played the accompaniments on piano. She told me how she had studied piano as a young girl, and was an accomplished pianist herself, but she loved the challenge of the recorder. And always, in playing, the sensitivity she'd inherited of her father's cantoring talents came through and were applied to all we played. Ronnie's sensitivity to all that surrounded her made one feel so in awe of her total understanding,acceptance and respect of life.
She had only good thoughts about everything and every one. She always had a solution for life's common situations and dilemas. And, still, she wanted to learn more. Her thirst for knowledge was one of her endearing attractions. She never stopped reaching out for more.
In short, to have known and had Ronnie for a friend was one of life's rare priviledges. And who can help but love,respect and now miss, one so generous. But her spirit will always live on in the legacy she left behind of the challenge to live up to her, and her espectaions of you.
