We know that words are of meager consolation in such a traumatic time: however, please accept our sincere and heartfelt condolences, our prayers go out to Helen, Bruce, Phyllis, and family. Take solace that Ron rests with the Risen Lord, through many hardships he has been accorded the ultimate reward we all strive for. Though you now grieve, try in the coming days to celebrate the person you so loved,we,among many,are better persons to have known Ron, he was an inspiration to all. As Jesus said, "come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest." Ron now reaps the fruits of his labors, and rests eternally in the hands of our God.
