Queen and Family: The Bible says “Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted” I pray that God will continue to comfort and bless you and your family during this difficult time and I pray your continued strength in Him. Please know that Ron’s eternal rest ended a physical life, but not your relationship. He has traded his cares for God’s gift. “ The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23. Our deepest sympathy, my dear sister.
Love you,

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of a dear classmate Ronald Lee. I remember the times at E.C. Glass High School and the kind heart and spirit that Ronald Lee had. My prayers go out to you during this time of sorrow, But the Peace of God which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Be Blessed and keep your head toward the sky because that is where your comfort comes from. Mable Harris Lynchburg Va. Class of 1976

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I was very saddened to hear about Ron Lee’s passing. While I know that words are only a small gesture of support, I want you to know that his spirit touched many people’s lives as mine. We grew up from young children to adults together on College Hill. He was a brother and a friend to me. He will always be in our thoughts and forever in our hearts. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Brenda Robey McCall,Class of 1975,and the Robey Family,Lynchburg,VA

I am truly sorry for your loss and I am sure that the Lord will be with you at this time. I was a classmate of Ronald's at E.C.Glass back in the day. and I would like to say to his family and loved ones that God needed another angel to do some special work for him and he chose Ronald, to be that angel on his day. From all of the "Classmates of Ronald Lee Beasley" we just want to say that our hearts are with you during this time of sorrow, and he will not only be missed by you all, but his classmates and friends too!!!. May the Lord be with you during this time,and Thank You for giving him the life, to share with us too!!. Leander Lacy Sr. Class of 1975.
