R.I.H. AND FLY HIGH AMONGST THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN. YOU MAY BE GONE BUT RONNIE, YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN ! To Rhoda and the family: We are so sorry for your loss! Thoughts and Prayers are with all....Ronnie (and especially when he would be around my Aunt Ruth....may she also R.I.H.) was always a person who made you laugh and have fun whether you wanted to or not! There were some great times growing up around him. Times that will not be forgotten or memories I've probably shared with my daughter. Ronnie also spoke his mind and told you his opinion. I can remember a couple times, being on that river, or at his house, getting into trouble and catching Ronnie's thought on the subject just after me, Rhoda Faye, and the other kids were just told on......Lol! Stay Strong! Love You Guys
