Dear Suzie and family,
Although I didn’t know Ron for a very long time, just knowing him was enough. What a sweet, gentle, kind man I came to know. I am sad for all of us who will miss his smile and gracious nature, but I’m happy that his struggles are over. I’m certain the love, devotion and incredible care you gave him, Suzie, bought him much more time on this earth. May you feel the love of friends and the comfort of God in the days ahead.
Thinking of you,
Debbie

Dear Suzie: We were so saddened to hear of Ron’s passing. We always smile when we remember all of our good times, especially in our early married days! Also, when you guys moved to the Seattle area to live by us…fun, even if for a short time! We moved from Washington to AZ to find the sun in 2010!
We pray that the Lord will hold you close & grant you His peace & mercy in the coming time. What a great assurance we have in knowing we will see each other again in heaven! We love you!

Dear Aunt Suzie: We want to let you know we are praying for you and your family right now; that God will wrap his loving arms around each of you and hold you close in the days to come. I have so many great/funny memories of my Uncle Ronnie. He always gave a good hug and made me laugh. His smile was the best and that twinkle in his eye was so “Ronnie”. We are so sorry that we will not be able to be with you tomorrow, but we will be thinking of you and praying for you, and look forward to seeing you…hopefully soon. Love you and love to all!

Dear Suzie and Family
I’m sorry to hear about Ronnie, I wish we’d heard about
Ron’s passing in time to attend the funeral. I just read his obituary in the Isanti News. It’s kind of a small world Ron’s dad Eddie and my husband’s mother were first cousin’s. Eddie and Wally’s grandmother were brother and sister. I know how much you must be missing him, I don’t know want I’d do without Wally. We
called Wally’s mother Doris to see if she had seen a obituary in the Minneapolis paper, she had not and was
sad to hear of Ron’s passing. Our prayers will be with you and your family
Pam & Wally
