I have been searching for the words that might be of comfort at this very sad time and that seems to be impossible. I am grateful Ron no longer has to struggle to breathe. I am grateful for all the wonderful friends and family who are gathered in support. I am grateful to have gotten to reconnect with Ron and Sue the past few years even though it was late in life. They are the kindest of folks to know and be related to. May God Bless and keep his comforting arms around you.
