Ramona has been a part of our lives for Generations. We have been so Blessed to have her in our lives. We have countless Wonderful Memories starting for my Sister and I when we were very little girls; also for my Mom, Aunt Cindy and Uncle Robert. It's hard to sum up a lifetime of Wonderful Memories in a few words. Ramona was certainly a Gift from God in our lives. Our Memories with Ramona continued to be made up until very recently. I will Cherish these Memories! I Love You Ramona and will certainly Miss You!
