Our cousin Roni, so much love and heart for you. Mom and I held each other saying many prayers when we heard you were sick up until you were called home. No more pain is what keeps us going and all the memories we shared as we drove back and forth to Ohio and all the times that you came to IL. You'll live on in our heart, I know for sure as your spirit is soaring around your going to come by here, maybe a bird, or a butterfly and I'll know it's you! Our cousin, my friend loving you from a place and time knowing that God is good, and on time we'll see you again! Cousins Angela and Ammie Hicks
