Dear Eileen and family of Ron,
I look at the photo of Ron and all of his sweetness and caring shine through. What a lovely man and neighbor he was! No matter how much he was going through physically, he always had an upbeat attitude and a kind word. He left the world a better place because he was in it. My heart goes out to all of you who are left behind; however, I know that through you, he will live on. May memories be a comfort at this painful time. Love from Tamara, Al, and Shayna Brody, 978 Allegheny Dr., Rockrimmon
