Ron was agreat coworker i worled with him @ Print to mail and will miss his humor and light.i leave you and yours with this note
When I'm gone; don't cry for me
I am not dead; I'm in sweet eternity
I'll live forever; I'll wait for all of you
When its your time; its what God would have us do.
He called my name; He said come home
I did not die; please do not cry; I will no more roam
I'll be by our Savior forever; soon, you too
Well walk in the light; praising God in all that we do.
Do not mourn for me; I have sweet victory
I'll walk in Gods garden; and glories see
I am not dead; He set me free; an Angel called to me
Its beautiful here; Heavens full of cheer; you'll see.
I did not die my love; I only went ahead
I knew youd understand; though I know this, you'll dread
That will pass too; do all God would have you do
Maybe up there God will let me have; a glimpse of you.
I did not die, so do not cry; I'll meet you here one day
Jesus will send an Angel to bring you to me; all the way
Our love is sure; our hearts are strong
I did not die, so please don't cry; I am home.

Michelle and family, Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
It will be the little things you remember,
the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem hard right now,
it will be the memories of these little things
that help push away the pain
and bring the smiles back again.
Dianna
