So sorry to read about Ron's death.  I knew him in high school.  He was a very nice person.  My own husband also died recently, April 10, so I truly understand how his wife feels.  There is nothing to fill the gap.  I'm glad to read he had so many chlldren, grandchildren, etc.  I'm sure he will be sorely missed by all of his family.  Janice (Bagwell) Ma

Cindi, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Ron. I was a friend of Ron as well as yourself in high school a long time ago. He was an all around good guy and well liked. I hope that you are finding the comfort of your family and I pray that God is giving you the strength to deal with your personal loss, as well as the greater loss to your family. This messaage of is coming to you from Rio Rico, AZ.

Sending love and sympathy to Ronnie's family!  We spent many good times together when we were young.  He was a great guy and I'm sure he was a good influence on his family.  His parents and mine came from the same area in Edwards County. Lots of loving prayers to you Ronnie on your journey with God... :)
