I'm sorry for your loss. I was a 1975 classmate of Ron's at SEP. He was the best friend anyone could ever have. I will always remember his kind heart.

I am so sorry for your loss. May "the God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) comfort and soothe your heart. His promises, found in the Holy Scriptures, can offer much hope. It assures us at John 5:28,29 that our loved ones will be remembered and brought back to life in the resurrection. Please allow God's Word to strengthen you and help you to endure this most difficult time.

Kathy and family,
We are very sorry to hear about your loss. Words can not express the feelings that you are going through right now, but if there is anything we can do for you please call.
We did not know Ron as well as we would have liked too but we did know the important things, he loved his family and was a good man. Our prayers are with you.
I was unable to get off the overnight shift at work and would not be able to make the drive to Iowa in time for the funeral, but please know we would have been there for you if we could.
All our love,
Carmen and Steve Rall
