Dear Betty & Family. I was very sorry to hear of Ron's death. You enjoyed many years together and travelled to many places. Hold onto the memories to help you through this sad time.
To Betty, Randy & Tom, We are saddened to read of the death of your dear husband and father. He is fondly remembered by us both as we were involved in your family’s life over the years. Karen supported Ron in the palliative care unit on the night of the passing of his dear wife Barb and your loving mom. Andrew had the joy of marrying you Betty to Ron and we enjoyed getting to know you both more during our time together in Calvary Baptist Church. We pray now for peace for you all at this difficult time, a peace beyond our earthly understanding.

Dear Betty - With my sincere sympathy on Ron’s passing. I always enjoyed my chats with him over the back fence and looked forward to him coming to my office in late August. I would then get caught up on his and your travel adventures. I hope the wonderful memories of your life together help you through the sadness of his passing. Please extend my sympathy to your children and grandchildren.
