Its so hard to say goodbye but I know Ron is in a peaceful place now, no more suffering. Ron was the brother I never had. I will always remember his love and concern when Jim died and with both the boys and me over the years. He always had a hand and a smile ready for us. He may be gone from this earth but he will always be in my heart.

Dear Marlane.
We know there is nothing we can say to ease the pain you are feeling now, but we pray you will find some comfort in knowing others care.

Marlene and family,
Our deepest sympathies on the loss of your Ronnie. I only met him a couple of times but you could tell he had such a gentle soul. Mike filled in the blanks for me with family stories. I felt I knew him forever. Mike and I are sorry we could not be there in your time of sorrow. Know that we are there in spirit. God Bless.

I'll always remember the Love and Support that Uncle Ron showed our family in the tough years after my Dad died. I was glad that my wife and I were able to sit and chat with him this winter. We'll miss him and our prayers will be with him.
