Our hearts are heavy but we rejoice knowing that Ron is only sleeping. We pray that Kathy and the rest of the family will hold on to the promise of the great resurrection.
Ron exemplified Christianity - always with genuine caring.. May your family experience the same loving kindness that you so freely give.

On behalf of the Pennock family, I would like to extend our sincere sympathy. Ron was such a good man. He was friendly and great to talk to. He will be missed greatly. To Kathy and the family, know that Ron will be raised in the first resurrection spoken of in 1 Thessalonians 4:16. God bless you all and wrap his loving arms around you.
