To Ronnie and David's family, I extend my heartfelt sympathy. It grieves me to read that their lives were so short. I was their 4th grade teacher, and remember them as handsome and respectful good boys, full of fun, with a little mischief mixed in. I share your sorrow.

Sincerely,

George Sarkis

Aunt Bernadette and Uncle Ronnie, I have't seen you, Uncle Ronnie in many years but was able to see Auntie at Colleen's wedding recently. Nevertheless, I can not tell you how sorry I am for the loss of Ronnie. I am also very sorry that I am unable to make it home to show my support for you both. My heart and prayers are with you all during this time. It does my heart good though knowing that he is now with Nana and Ricky. God be with you all.

Love,

Christine, my husband Phil and kids:Kirk, Bryce, Hunter, and Alana

I have alot of great memories of my cousin Ronnie. When I was a kid he took the time to teach me martial arts, it was something he loved and enjoyed teaching. He was the type of person that knew a little bit of alot of subjects. He also had a great sense of humor and always made me laugh. I will miss him so much. Love Rich

To my cousin, Ron, and Bernadette..

I offer you and your families my deepest sympathies on your great loss. It's not supposed to be this way, you know, our children are supposed to outlive us. Therefore, it is very difficult when a son or daughter is taken away from us. I do have something tomorrow but I'm going to try my darndest to see you at the funeral home.

Bernadette,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your son Ronald. I had read earlier of the death of Ricky and didn't make the connection. Please accept my sincere sympathy. I used to work with you at National Drug. I know my name is now different and you wouldn't recognize it.
