Willie Mae,
Growing up I always remember how kind you and Ronnie were and how devoted to your family you both were. I remember when the two of you were married, let alone when each of your children were born. As the years go by we tend to go our seperate ways, however I will always remember Ronnie as a hard worker and family man. My condolences go out to you and your children. May God bless.
