ReplyDeleteI honor Ron for his service to our country. I ask God's Blessings, Peace and Comfort to surround his family as they go through this time. We all loved Ronnie from the first time we met him. He was exactly 2 years older than me. I don't remember exactly when I saw him for the first time, but remember playing games with him as a child. He could be a little feisty. I remember when we would all meet at Grandma Dallas's house in Portales and play tag running all around the house. Sometimes we would all gather around the piano and sing at Christmas time when we were there.
ReplyDeleteLove to all his family,

Thinking about Ron & Family today on his birthday and know this would be a day of celebration of his birth, but since his passing, it is likely bittersweet! We are celebrating his birth today, life, his Soldier service to the USA, his children & grandchildren and having him as a brother! We love and will continue praying for Brittany, Gage, Brooklyn, Wes and all the Family for God's Comfort, Peace of Christ and good memories!
