To Ronna:
I don't think I ever called you that -- it was always Mom. I owe you a great deal for your open heart and warm smile. I won't shed anymore tears for your early departure -- only smiles as I think of you. Thank you for all you gave me and my best friend, we are forever in your debt. Rest in His peace. -- CAG

Dear Family members of Ronna,
I grew up with Ronna and her family when she lived on Parrish Drive in Citrus Heights. Her mom, Beverly, and my mom, Barbara Back, were very good friends. Us children spent alot of time together playing. I would see Beverly at Roseville Hospital every time I had a baby, and she would tell me about the whole family, especially Ronna. I went to Casa Roble High School with Ronna also. I am so sorry for your loss. It deeply saddens me that someone so young should pass so soon. My prayers are with all of you in your time of sadness. We are also suffering a great loss as we lost my father unexpectedly on March 10th. My heart is raw and my thoughts are with you all. May God Bless Everyone of us
