Doris,
Please accept our sincere sympathy. We remember how you and Ron were always a part of our family picnics with Aunt Elly & Uncle Dick. They are happy memories. I know you have those, too, and many, many more & we hope they will help see you through the coming days. May Ron rest with the angels. – Val & Tom McCracken
