May the family and friends of Ronald Morgan be comforted during this time of bereavement. It is heartwarming to know that our Heavenly Father is aware of how much pain the death of a loved one can bring. However, his dear Son, Jesus Christ promised that very soon those we have lost in death will hear the voice of the Christ and "come out" of the grave and enjoy life once again, this time on a paradise earth.

May these few thoughts give you and yours comfort and hope during this period of sorrow.

I had the pleasure of knowing Ron for the past three years thru a support group that he is a huge part of. I also had the wonderful opportunity to meet him in person last spring when he came to Florida for some fun in the sun!! I am so happy for him that he has such a loving family and had such a fulfilling life with them. During his time in our group, he encouraged many and gave awesome messages of hope for each one of us!He is truly missed. Nancy, thank you for sharing him with us! We love you!

Dear Nancy, Eric & Family,
I just wanted to comment, once again, how sorry I am for your loss. Ron suffered so long but sure strove to make the best out of the cards he was dealt. We had a blast when we worked at Red Hill Savings, both professionally & in our social life. He knew how to turn a day into a ball of laughs! Ron was a very special friend and I will miss him dearly! May the Lord bless you with the comfort of your family and friends.
Love,

Maryanne and Famiy

Ron usually sat in front of me in home room during school. Since graduation, I have not seen him but wanted to after connecting on Facebook. Since I live in NWPA and get back to the valley rarely, I missed an opportunity. My thoughts of Ron are all good. Celebrate his life and I will pray from here.
