Marla,
I was so sorry to hear about Ron and I felt such great saddness after talking to Dave. You know how special all the Fouses are to me and I feel, like so many others, like a member of the family. There are so few people in this life that we can say molded our character and helped encourage such successful adults. Ron was one of those men for me. I'm so sorry that I can't be there to be with you all during this time. Just know that we are praying for you and the family. Love and God Bless from your Georgia family, Mark, Heather and all the Brooks clan.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Ron's family and friends in this time of sorrow. He will be greatly missed by all.
No matter what, Ron always had a smile on his face and a kind word to share with everyone.
We'll miss seeing him at the sporting events, where he was a huge fan, cheering everyone on; and at the backyard picnics, where he was an even bigger fan of family and friends.
God bless you Ron, we'll miss you always!! May peace be with you and your family!!
