My dear friend Ronnie, Heaven is a place nearby, so there's no need to say goodbye. I will hold on to memories of Great slumber parties on Clay St. The way you would eat cake during lunch at St. Mary's always saying, "moist" with the most funny face making us all laugh. The way you could put your hair up in TWO ponytails before I could start to put a comb to my hair. The way You & Yvette always used those elastic Big Balls to make ponytails, I so desired to do the same but failed. And who would of guessed that you would be cheerleader AND Yvette would make mascot in high school. GREAT MEMORIES WILL FOREVER BE IN MY HEART THANK YOU MY SWEET FRIEND.
To Mr & Ms Lopez, Annette,Lisa, & Robert There aren't enough words to Express my deepest condolences. I will keep you in my prayers. May you Hold on to your memories
and let them guide you during this time of sadness, and THANK YOU for sharing your Sweet, daughter/sister.

Ronnie was the sweetest, most talented individual I ever had the pleasure of working with. We had lost touch over the years although I have tried to find her numerous times. The most recent being over the past month but to no avail. So now I will see her sometime in heaven. Can’t believe you left so early sweet baby. I am in shock and sad, but no doubt you are with Jesus. Your friend Linda
