"Although we haven't seen you often since moving out of our lovely little Woodinville neighborhood, memories of Ron remain firmly planted in my memory. Mostly I picture him outside, and with a smile on his face or offering a loud chuckle about some amusing event. Blessings to your family as you navigate this world without him. "

"To Marianne, Annmarie, and Ronnie's Family,
Ronnie, God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me."
With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
May the comfort of God help you all during this difficult time.
