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

Marsha just called with the sad news of the sudden passing of Ron. Unfortunately I think we only go to met him once. We remembered him at Mass tonight and he will be entered into my Knights of Columbus Pray List.
Kathy, we are praying for you and about all we can say, is to hang in there. Remember the good times, try to forget the not so good times.
