"2/2/1951 a bouncing baby boy arrived to fill this world with joy. 11/9/2019 he left us alone in our sorrows. Defeated by the things happening to his body and dejected by the things being done behind his back he still found a way each day to bring a smile to my face and joy in my heart. I will never forget you Ronald and I will always love you til death takes us both. There will never be another love like our so I await the day that we will hold and love each other again. I know this is late babe, but Happy Birthday. Rest in Heaven my love."
In loving memory of

Come to Me:
God saw you were 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.
A golden heart stopped beating, Hard
working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us, He
only takes the best.
