My heart breaks when I think of all you have been through. But my heart rejoices knowing I'll see you again. From the foot rubs I have given you to the last prayer we prayed I will miss you.You were an amazing dad and the best father in law I could have ever ask for. Thank you for loving and accepting me into your family. I am fortunate I was given the opportunity to meet such a sweet gentle soul. I'm glad I found that in you. I love you Ronnie and I will miss you soooo much. You will always have a special place in my heart.
