Dear Nancy,
I am deeply saddened to hear the news of Ron's passing. From what I know of Ron, he was a remarkably wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and friend. I will never forget the day you brought in your wedding photos, because it was your anniversary, or the countless number of times Ron accompanied you to school events and even a school board meeting. He was such a nice man and I know that he will be very missed. Much love to you.
