Dear Jess,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Ron was such a sweet and soft spoken gentleman. He was loved by so many.
Ron was topnotch at keeping the DRSFA club going and had such wonderful friendships with the members. The dedication they all had for the club was amazing. It was wonderful to see how you two loved each other and you were always together at meetings. What a beautiful couple. We are so sorry for the loss of your sweet Ron.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you,
Love and hugs,
Rusty and Deana Held
