So sorry Ron for your loss. My prayers are with you and family. I’m sorry I won’t be able to attend.
Norma, words cant express how much I am going to miss you my dear friend. You had a golden soul that I will forever hold dear to my heart. We shared so many many wonderful times together. My life is going to be so empty, no more sitting out in the garage getting sun, or going for walks, but mostly I won’t have you to just sit and laugh with. You have the Lord to do all that with now. No more pain for you.
My Condolences to your family, my they find peace in knowing you lived a full and loving life. May God be by your side and help you through the pain you are feeling. She was the best of best… ever
Ron and family
