Ronda and family My heart goes out to you at this time of loss. Think of you so often and tried to call but number was incorrect. Love to all of you. Would love to make the visitation but not able to drive that far Love. 🙏❤️💕

My family sends their deepest condolences. It was over the last two years that I met Ron through Matt. I enjoyed the few times eating lunch at Chef-O-Nette restaurant with Ron and Matt. May your family find peace, and be surrounded by loving memories of your beloved family member.

Ron was a special friend for many years and will be greatly missed. Condolences and prayers to his family. RIP Ronnie and enjoy your well deserved peace.

To My Dad in Heaven “They say there is a reason they say time will heal, neither time a reason will change the way I feel. Gone are the days we used to share, but in my heart, you are always there. The gates of memories will never close, I miss you more than anybody knows. Love and miss you every day till we meet again always and forever.” From My Dad in Heaven “When tomorrow, to see eyes, all filled with tears for me. I wish so much she wouldn’t cry, the way you did today, well, thanking of many things, we didn’t get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you miss me too. When tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart.” I love you daddy - I miss you so much and can not wait to see you again. 💜 Shana
