I just couldn't believe when I heard this. I'm just 10days older than Ron. He was my best friend in our teens. We had so many stories together. He was always on top of what ever he was doing. Or the 1st one to get there. The last time I seen you all was when we went to jokers. That was a great time. I cannot imagine what you guys are going through. Love and prayer to all of you. If there's anything we can do let us know.
