March 23, 2023 at 10:24 amI was Ron’s Pastor and most of all, his friend. We talked about a lot of things. Some were funny. I could always depend on Ron for a joke or funny statement on Sunday. I watched as he faithfully walked with Margaret through her disease before she went to heaven. When I learned of her diagnosis, I told her I was sorry and she said something simple and profound that I had never before, “Preacher Bob, The Lord brought me to it and He will see me through it. When Ron was diagnosed I asked him how he felt about it, knowing what he would say. He said, Bob, the Lord brought me to it and He will see me through it. He did! And He will do the same for you and me. We need others and I am so glad Ron had Karen to walk through it with him every step of the way. My wife felt the same way about Ron and Margaret and she is with them again.. Pastor. Bob Marcaurelle
much the same ideas.

We are very grateful for Karen, who cared for Ron and loved him through her selfless acts. Karen, thank you for displaying the heart of Jesus as you cared for Ron.

March 30, 2023 at 3:45 pmGreg, praying for you and all the family. You had a wonderful Dad and Mom. I have a lot of sweet memories of Ronnie and Barbara. I met Margaret too, and she was perfect for your Dad. Your Dad was a blessed man to have two wonderful, loving wives. I never met Karen, except seeing your Dad’s post on Facebook but she took such good care Ronnie and she was a blessing to him. I know most people call your Dad, Ron but we all were friends when we were so young, and that’s why I say, Ronnie.
Jesus Loves you,
