Ronne,
A beautiful loving young woman. I was with her for her birth, in hospice and i was on her team Carpe Diem for the 3day walk only 3 days after she was taken from us.
She was brave and strong in life, motherhood and love.
I think of all of you often.
I still have some things that i saved for Jennifer from that time.

My love Ronne , I miss you today as much as I did 14 years ago, the last time I held you in my arms and felt your heartbeat stop and felt you take your last breath. I have tried to raise our daughters as well as I could and be the man that you would be proud of.
I am sorry I could not save you but I know I wil stand beside you again one day. I will love you for all eternity.
Love , your husband forever

To all of those who signed this guest book, thank you so much for your kind words, warm thoughts and offers of condolence. My family and I appreciate you all very much and I am sure Ronne is sending her love to all of you as well. This has been the hardest period in my life, there is nothing that will soften the pain of loss and emptiness I feel over Ronne's death, but thank you all for the support.

I am so very proud of my daughter Ronne: she was an extraordinary young woman with a sharp mind. The fact that she had so many very wonderful friends proves to me that she was someone very special.
The manner in which she handled her struggle with her disease made her my hero.
The happiest day of my life was the day that I walked her down the aisle and gave her to Dan, because I could see how much they meant to each other and the extreme happiness they had found together. She immediately became a loving mother to Veronica. Her life became complete when she had her beloved baby Jennifer.
How beautiful it was that she achieved so much happiness in so short a time.
October 28, 2005
My deepest sympathies to Ronne's family. She is an inspiration to many. May her spirit live forever in your hearts.

Dear Hank,
I would like to send my deepest sympathy to you and the entire Landi and Shomo families for your loss. I'm sure mere words can't describe what you all must be feeling.You must be so proud to be related to such a wonderful and inspiring woman. I know I am, even though only a distant cousin.
With Love,,Jim

Dear Dan and Family,
I am so very sorry and saddened to hear this news. I have thought about you and Ronne so many times in the last two years, although I did not know this was going on.
Ronne was a one of a kind. I loved the time we shared an office, she made my days tolerable. Even when we no longer shared office space, we talked almost every day, in and out of work. I still hear her words when making coffee, "It has to be the correct shade of beige."
Every time I cuddle the cat you and she gave me, I am so grateful that both of you worked me to keep her. I've told that story many times.
I will never forget her kindness, friendship and laughter. Her beautiful spirit will live on, not only in Jennifer, but in all of us who had the pleasure to share some piece of our lives with her.

Ronne you are loved and missed. Your husband left you the most beautiful closing. I know you feel it, his love, his tribute to you. You and Dan were so very lucky, so very blessed to have been able to love eachother.
So many people live their lives struggling to reach immortality, to make their mark on the world so they will never be forgotten. You have acheived this without intention, without trying. You will live on in Jennifer and Veronica. You will live on in your husband Dan. You will live on never to be forgotten by any of us. You have taught so many of us to never take anything for granted. You have taught us to fight, to never give up. Your strength will carry on to your girls, to your grandchildren, all the women and families who you have touched by the witness of your struggle. Your spirit will always be with us, and within our hearts and souls.
We lost you;
but through you, your story, your wonderous, miraculous life will save so many others.
God be with you Ronne

The gathering today was a great tribute to a wonderful woman. I know she was smiling down at all of her family, friends and supporters. I feel so blessed to have known Ronne through the YMCA. She was such a great friend and inspiration to us all.
Dan, you have more strength than I could ever imagine. Veronica and Jennifer, Ronne loved you both so much and fought as hard as she could to stay with you. I will do all I can to help you remember her. I'm so glad you are in my life.
Love and Prayers,

To all of Ronne's friends,family, supporters,and caregivers; Thank you so much for your loving words and feelings for Ronne and the comforting thoughts to myself and my family. Ronne was the most amazing woman I have ever met and although I am devastated by the loss of my soul mate,I am so happy to see all of the people she has inspired and all of the lives she has touched.
Nothing will ever ease the pain in my soul I feel at her loss, nothing will ever replace the part of my heart that has been lost. But,nothing will ever erase her smile from my memory and nothing will ever stop me from keeping her wonderful memory alive and nothing will keep me from letting our daughters know just what an incredible woman she was, the love she had for them in her heart and the hope she held for their future.
I love you Ronne, I cry it to you each night as I struggle to face the night alone without you in my arms, I laugh it as I watch our children play and I whisper it whenever I feel you near me and tears burn down my face.
I miss you and I remember the last thing I was able to tell you, I will find you again my love.

My Dear Son Dan,
My heart aches with yours at the loss of your beloved Ronne. I think she was an angel sent to Earth to make you whole. Looking at all the letters you have received on this guest book, I can see how many lives she touched as well as yours. She was an extremely wonderful woman;brave, courageous, inspiring, loving. She gave to you a love and a strength that will be with you always. I am also happy to see what wonderful friends the two of you have. They will be there for you and help you through the sad times. Your other strength will come from the love and care you give your two beautiful daughters.
I hope you will continue to be an advocate for a cure for breast cancer so that in the future this disease will be destroyed.
You are in my thoughts and prayers daily.I am very proud of how strong ang brave you have been. Love, Mom .

To the family of Veronica Landi-Shomo:
I felt compelled to write after reading about "Ronne" in the newspaper...what an awesome inspiration she sounds like she was. I too have run for Team In Training here in San Diego and my heart goes out to you. I lost a dear friend 4 years ago to cancer at the age of 37 and she sounds so much like Ronne--inspiring, fit, athletic, always smiling--take comfort in knowing she is in a better place and that she touched so many lives! It sounds like she was a gem and we must trust that He has a reason for taking people like Ronne at such and early age. God bless you!

To Dan, Jennifer and Veronica,
Although I have never met Ronne, she was a very dear friend to me online. Even going through her own private struggles she helped me in my darkest hour. She was truly an inspiration to me. I spoke to her via email about 3 months ago, she seemed so strong and upbeat. I am so saddened by her passing. Please know that she will be with you always, watching over you and keeping you safe. Namaste

Dan and Family -- Ronne's intelligence and art made her a wonderful member of our IT team at National University, and her wit and wisdom made our days brighter. Ronne was a true friend and colleague who will live with us forever. Our arms join around you in our attempt to be as strong as she.

We love you and our arms are open for as many hugs as you need.

Although I never met Ronnie, I feel as though she has touched my life. She was a true warrior, someone not afraid to live out loud. She is a hero of our time. My deepest sympathizes and truest love go out to her two daughters and beloved husband.

I will never forget the last time I had lunch with Ronne, only six months ago. She was a concerned parent asking for advice on how to get an 11-year old to do her homework every night. Despite her own difficulties, she put the needs of her family first. She was a friend to me from the time I first met her until the very end. Now, may she rest forever in peace with the Lord.

Simply put, Ronne was my friend, and she is and will be sorely missed. But in the face of that, I try to take comfort from the fact that I feel blessed to have known her for the time we were all given. And I hold the gifts of examples she gave of determination, love, and strength near to my heart. Her memory will live on in all the minds of those she knew as surely as the sun sets and falls, and when we all meet our eventual passing I have no doubt that we will see her smiling face again.
Dan, take things one breath at a time, one step at a time. Your family's story was near and dear to me, seeing as how my mother passed away when I was Jennifer's age, and my father, a retired military pilot was left to figure out how to raise me, as well as my 10 year old brother brother and sister. We all made it, you will too. But please do not hesitate to call on those that are here to help in whatever way we can.

Dear Dan,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I will pray for you and your daughters during this very difficult time. Find comfort in your wonderful memories. Your incredible wife will always live on in your hearts.

My sympathies and encouragement go out to Dan, Jennifer, Veronica and the entire Landi family, as well as anyone who ever knew or was close to Ronne.
I had the privilege to work with Ronne at National University for more than four years, and I can attest to her warmth and friendliness, and her dedication as a volunteer. She was also a great Web designer and a consumate professional who I could always rely on to do an excellent job. It was a pleasure both to work with her and to know her.
Ronne gave me a lot of support and encouragement when my mother was diagnosed with cancer, which really amazed me. I often wondered how she could be so focused on the well-being of others as she went through such an incredible trial.
She was so open and couragious with me during her battles, that I had to reciprocate. I let her know that my wife was a cancer survivor, having beaten stage 3 lymphoma several years back. I wanted to give her as much encouragement and support as I could.
I did lose my mother this past spring, and I know that a community of caring friends and family helps to deal with such an incredible loss. Ronne really brought out the best of me in good and difficult times, and now I owe it to her and her memory to pass that spirit along to others.

To the Shomo and Landi Families,
We extend our deepest heart-felt condolences to your families. Ronne and Dan are very close to our hearts as dear friends, as a Teammate, and they have been in our daily prayers during their difficult struggle. Our hearts ache with sadness because of this loss, but we are lifted in hope as we praise the Lord, that pain and suffering is no longer ailing Ronne.
Dan, you and Ronne have been the example of faith, hope and courage. Your determination to desperately fight back and lead others in the fight through your and Ronne’s participation in the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation has been remarkable and inspirational.
The love you two have shared can never be taken away, as memories can never be lost. The beautiful daughter you have made together will constantly remind you of a love everlasting. The inspiration and guidance that Ronne has given to Veronica, will forever help shape her life.
And Dan, Ronne’s love and character have made you a more caring, compassionate husband, father and friend. Her example has shaped your character and helped make you a better leader. Make Ronne proud and continue to raise your children with the same love and nurturing that your wife has shown you.
Our lives will forever be blessed, as we have known and been friends a most wonderful and beautiful young woman, mother and stepmother, and beloved wife of a brother and Teammate. Dan, any need, we are here for you and your family, anytime.
Love, Amir and Terri

Dan - what a beautiful and fitting tribute for Ronne.
I was fortunate to have worked with Ronne at National University for many years and on lots of different projects. What I think about was her drive for perfection in whatever she did - it wasn't really perfection as much as the fact that she wanted it to be 100% right, and so did I.
The other bond we shared was that we had both faced some daunting health issues requiring great strength and courage. One day at a time, we would suit up and show up for work and our families; even and especially on days when we should have been at home in bed.
I already miss Ronne's dry sense of humor and her wit and wisdom. I extend my heart-felt condolences to her family and friends. May you feel her love in every breeze that blows and each ray of sun that touches your cheek.
Love always, Robin
