    Rest in Peace Cousin Ron! I know that you went through some very hard years, but every time I saw you, you were always smiling and would tell jokes. We did not see each other that often, but it always felt as though there hadn’t been that space. Now , you are back with your Dad and Mom and sister Sandi. May God enfold you in his embrace. Sweet Dreams!

    I send my condolences to Ron’s family and loved ones. I was so sorry to hear of his illness and of his death. Being one of the older cousins, I did not know Ron as well as the younger kids, but I remember him to be a fun loving guy, always with a smile and a laugh not far behind. My best thoughts to all of people he leaves behind and the legacy he leaves in his children and grandchildren.
