Dear Ronnie,
Its Valentines Day once again and we miss you like we do everyday , particularly when its a "Special Day". We missed all the holidays as things are always so busy and moreso this past season. we know your enjoying heaven just praising God all the time. We see your picture in the foyer many times a day and just feel that your away on a long vacation. All of us love you and miss you but we are assured of being with you when we all get to Heaven.

Love Always,
Dad and Mom

Dear Ronnie,
We cant believe a couple days ago was your fourth year anniversary praising Jesus in Heaven. Your missed by all of us, but it just seems like your away on a long trip and we will see you again and in reality, we will. We love you and think of you all the time. We are so thankful to God that you had that personal relationship with Him and loved Him on earth, otherwise you would have missed out on Heaven (worshiping and praising Jesus all the time, throughout eternity). We will love you forever!
Love,
Dad and Momma

Dear Ronnie,
4/28/09
Forty-nine years ago tonight God gave you to us, we all loved you and watched you grow. Your spiritual birth came eighteen years later then you became a fine young married man, then a father to a little girl, then later, again, to a little boy. When you were in your early forties your son and daughter in law gave you your first grandson. Life goes by so fast and we are glad that we all lived so close by as a family to share in each others lives as a family. When God called you home that day we didn't get to say good bye, but we will all see you again when we join you in heaven. We miss you and love you very much and ask Jesus to hug and kiss you for us.
Love,
Dad and Mom

It's Love day Ronnie and we're sure you receive Love never ending. You're still very much in and on our hearts, especially when we pass your picture everyday. You will ALWAYS be in our hearts and someday we'll all be together once again. May Jesus' love continue to envelope you.

Dear Ronnie,
Another Chritmas has been celebrated and you and Jesus celebrated it in heaven together with many others. We spent time with your daughter and son-in-law before Christmas and had a great time and also your son and grandson Blayne came over to Denise's on Christmas. He is getting so big I can't believe he is 5 already. We can't believe another new year is almost here. The years are flying by so quickly. The Bible talks about the days in the end should be shortened and they surely are just that. Our love never stops for you. We ask Jesus to hug you for us.
Love
Daddy and Momma

Dear Ronnie,
Time has flown by so quickly you are with Jesus now 3 years. We love you and miss you, but know you are so content with your Lord. We look at your picture everyday and pray for your children and their families and your grandchild. Blayne will be 5 years old in December already.

We can't even imagine how it is in Heaven constantly praising God and being "Always in his presence." Thanksgiving is nine days away and we will all be together to celebrate and give our Lord thanks and know you would be with us if you were on earth.

All our Love,
Daddy and Momma

Dear Ronnie,
This would be your 48th birthday, you are missed sooo much. So many things remind us of you when you were still with us. We love you very much but know you are much happier in the arms of Jesus. His Love is perfect! If our love could have saved you, you would have lived with all of us here, but Jesus saved you to spend eternity with Him. "Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the Chain will link again."
All our love,
Daddy and Momma

Dear Ronnie,
Another Christmas has past and it is New Year's Eve already. We miss you so much especially when our family is together such as Christmas eve, Christmas, tonight and tomorrow. You will always be on our heart and in our thoughts. Our love for you will never end. We are always speaking about some of the things we would do as a family, but we are sure you are so completely happy in the arms of Jesus. We pray to Him to wrap His arms around you and love on you for us.
Our love forever,
Dad and Momma

Dear Ronnie,
This is your 2 year anniversary being with the Lord in heaven we miss you son. Only knowing that some day we'll be there with you helps you ease the desire to have you here with us. We will never stop loving you and we look at your picture everyday. It is almost Thanksgiving Day when we will celebrate all the things our God has done and is still doing for us and for His grace and mercy He gives us. We ask God to wrap His arms around you and give you a big hug for us.

Ronnie it has been one year since you have passed, and I just want you to know that I miss you greatly. I wish we could have spoken again sooner before this tragedy, but I know that deep down you know, and always did know, that you were a very special person in my life. My memories with you I will cherish always. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Angela

Dear Lord,
Please let Ronnie know on the anniversary of his first year with Jesus how much he has been, and is missed. We think of him everyday, we pass by his pictures several times a day as well. We ask that you give him a big hug and kiss from us each day until we go to be with Jesus, so we can see him for ourselves then. It's comforting to know that he is with you Lord. We were so happy to have had him here for the 45 years that we did. It is sad that we really didn't get to say goodbye to him before he left this earth. He is loved and missed greatly not only by us, but also by his children and grandson. His brother and sisters, nieces and nephews also greatly love and miss him.
Love,
Dad and Mom

To my Sweethearted Brother Ronnie, things are so different now that you have departed. Today is 2/14/06, Valentines Day, known for celebrating the ones we love. Ronnie, you now know how much you are loved not only by your family members and friends but by more than anyone the creator of heaven and earth. I am so happy for you and I feel special to know a part of me is already entered eternity.

Your leaving us has been a gift to us. It has caused the family to realize we have to cherish each moment and make them count. We now really know were not guaranteed tomorrow because today "now" is really all God grants us to enjoy. Yesterday already has gone and tomorrow may not come. I see now I used to live for the future and I missed out on my "nows." So my dear brother after 45 years I love you and thank you for all you have been to me. I can't wait until eternity to see you and give you a big hug; after seeing Jesus, you’re next for a lot of long hugs.

Ronnie, it’s February 14, 2006 , love day , better known as valentines day, almost 3 months since you have gone to your eternal home with Jesus. You are truly missed and loved by all of us. We know you are receiving much more love where you are in heaven then you could ever have received here on earth. The Lord is truly sustaining us; we will love you forever and will be with you one day when God calls us home.

Ronnie, We miss you more than you will ever know. I think of you everyday. I am thankful that you are with Jesus and that His loving arms are wrapped around you and that you are feeling so much love in Heaven. I thank God for the time that he allowed us to have with you after Hurricane Katrina. All of the time that we spent together. The meals that we ate, and I will cherish that time until we see you again in Heaven.



Love,

Your Sister Karen
