I’m so sorry to hear about Ron. I can’t even imagine. Dick, Verda, Susan, Rick, Rachael and all the kids -I send my love and strength.
Ronnie and I got to spend a little time together when we were both in DC. He was so smart and accomplished. A very impressive soul!
So glad you sent this so we could know Ron better! He definitely loved to learn and I'm sure he felt blessed to live with you! Families are everything and you certainly have one that is full of love!!! So thankful to know that families are forever! But to be without him now, when he was such a supportive and ever present son must be so heart wrenching. We will continue to keep you in our prayers! 😘💜
