My heart goes out to you and your family for Ron’s passing. The Lord called him home on the same date that he sent his own son to save all of us. So think of this day not with sadness, but with hope and the knowledge you will be with Ron again someday. Mom and I are keeping you in our hearts. Love, Diana and Betty Berck
