This is a poem that always makes me feel better about losing someone. If it helps even one more person have peace over the loss of Ron...it was worth posting. I know it's long...but it's very beautiful. I haven't known what to write on here until now..I'm not good with this sort of thing, but I wanted to write something. I also wanted to say to Eva, that you were so brave to get up there and speak about your dad at the service...I know he's very proud of you! All my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Here is the Poem:

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.

It's unfortunate to see him again under these circumstances, but I have to say my memory of him will always be his smilin face at Weatherchem. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family.

I loved my dad very much. I don't know how I will go on without him. I will miss him until I see him again in heaven.

Linda and family I am so sorry for your loss. It is such a great loss for us here at Weatherchem as well. It will be tough for us to cope without Ron and without him our tool room will not be the same. Ron was a wonderful friend and co-worker. He mentored me through my apprenticeship and gave me the enthusiasm to stick it out. May your family find some peace in all of this.
