I last talked with Ronnie when he called about our WCA Class of 1970 High School reunion to which he was so looking forward. Unfortunately it had to be cancelled. However, it was great hearing his voice! He sounded just like the same Ronnie from years ago. For those who know the Lord, “To be absent from the world, is to present with Christ.” Oh, what a joy that must be for him! But for those who loved him most, who were so close to him, it can be so challenging, especially all the “firsts.” The first week, first month and every first occasion where he was always there before and now, no longer will be. Every person grieves in their own way and time. I took several grief workshops after my mother died and found the best way of handling grief was walking through it with the Lord, not ignoring it. The person who loves the most, grieves the most and rightly so. Our fast speed world allows little time for grieving and few know how to help or what to say. Truly only God knows your heart and can help you get through it. HE is always available. I look forward to reconnecting with Ronnie again on “the other side,” where there will be no pain or tears and only good memories. I’ve learned to be thankful for my mother’s passing (6 years ago) that she’s no longer in pain and grateful for how God blessed us over the years even through her passing. May God be your comfort and strength during this time and the days ahead. Psalms offers many comforting scriptures.

I would just like to express my condolences to Ronnie's entire family. We were classmates from 2nd grade until we graduated. He was certainly a fine person and a good friend. May he rest in peace and may you all find comfort in a loving God who cares for us all.

Rita, Tina and Lisa. It’s been a long time since we all went to school together and a lot of fond memories. It’s always hard to lose a sibling and loved one, but seek comfort in the Lord that Ronnie is resting in Peace and Comfort with the Lord now and well taken care of.

Hey Rita, sorry to see that Ronnie has left us. I know it's hard to lose a loved one especially a close member of ones family that you have been around your whole life. It has been a very long time since I have seen Ronnie but looking at the picture that is in the paper he enjoyed life to the fullest. Try not to be too sad, you know that Ronnie would not want that for you or your family. Remember the fond memories and the good times that you shared as a family. M
