Dear Sonja, I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved Ron-I never got to meet him but I'll never forget the day he called the office and I answered the phone and he called me "hon" and started talking before he found out I wasn't you. We had a good laugh over that one! There are no words to help with your loss but you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Deb
