Mary, you, Alex, Jake and Jill are in my thoughts. My heart is so sad for you. Ron was one of sweetest men I have ever met. I hope that all of memories of the good times you have had together help to get you through this difficult time. May your faith help to ease your pain and heal your hearts.
My heart aches for you all and I know how difficult is to find peace when you miss Ron so much. I cannot know your personal loss but, I know the loss, the void that seems to be in your lives right now. I pray you find peace and comfort in knowing that Ron is still with us in so many ways and he always will be. I wish I were closer and could be of help to you. I pray the Lord will help and guide you, that he will be with you and help you as you grieve. Ron filled our lives in such a big way even in his quietness he was ever filling so much of our lives. I pray for you all.
HAPPY “FULL” SAILS ALWAYS IN ALL YOUR CRUISES WITH GOD !
