With greatest sympathy for Uncle Ron’s whole family, we are sorry for your loss. Uncle Ron was always joking and laughing even when we visited last year. We had a good time that day, a nice day reminising and eating lots of ice cream. And that is the way I will remember him. Thank you Aunt Joyce for that day.
Love and God bless to all of you

Our sincerest condolences and sympathies to you and yours in your loss. Our thoughts are with you at this very difficult and emotional time.
Every single day I was greeted with a joyous wave and a smile from Ron as I hurried off to my “break time” at work every single morning. You gave me a happy start to the day – Thank you! Ron you were a great neighbor and wonderful friend. Your laughter and funny jokes will always be a part of my life.
Love you and God bless you
Bonnie
Dear Joyce:
I would like to extend my deepest heartfelt sympathy to you at this sad sad time, and I am so sorry for the delay in this message. I was speechless. Ron was a wonderful wonderful friend, and I am in utmost sorrow for his loss. Our world won’t be the same without him, but the other world has gained a lovely soul. May he rest in peace, and may you find the strength to go on.
I will always remember his happy face, and those wonderful hugs, and his funny jokes, which made me laugh for a while. He will be missed greatly. I cannot express with words how sorry I am, and how lovely he was. I love him like I love my own father.
