Ronnie babe....
Around 27 plus some years ago, two families came together ... the Horazy and Pearce's and history was made! Both sides welcomed each other like if they knew each other forever. Our family's would always be together on all occasion , whether it was a holiday, a birthday ,a sport event or just to get together for some good times.
But both of us had a special bond... we were able to have great conversations , family was first, enjoyed watching our grandchildren grow up to be adults and just enjoy each others company.
You will always be in our hearts, and we will surely miss you....
Most of all... Julie and I want to say ...we love you!
