Farwell, Ron. My relationship with you over the past 38 years will always be cherished. Your legacy will live on in all of your wonderful children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. You are an angel now and surround us all.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a 1,000 winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sun on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled light
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there; I did not die.

So sorry to hear about Ronnie. He was a cherished classmate, always friendly, kind, and nice. He was smart, too. He always smiled and said hello. He was especially kind and helpful to me in eighth grade; and I never forgot it. My heart goes out to family and friends. So sorry for your loss.

Not Ready For Goodbye
I'm not ready for goodbye,
Nor so long or see ya later.
Not ready for the end,
Not ready for this reality.
I'm not ready for this life,
one without you in it.
I'm not ready for your goodbye.
maybe someone else's,
anyone else's,
just not yours,
never ever yours.
Death doesn't become of you,
It isn't your best color,
So could they change the prognosis,
Tell me it was just a mistake,
Just another misdiagnosis.
Please remind me you are indestructible,
just like we always used to believe,
Tell me you are still my guardian,
And still going to be living.
Please tell me Dad,
You will still always be my best friend.
Please tell me you will never leave me,
And you will be here till the end.
Tell me I'm having a nightmare,
And I will wake up in the morning,
With all these things being nothing but another forgotten dream.
Tell me you will always love me,
And stay with me,
My selfishness wants you to always stay by my side.
Knowing that you are going to be gone,
Won't make your leaving any easier.
I love you do much Dad,
Infinity and Beyond.
