Kathy,
I have heard many wonderful things about Ronnie; yet I feel he, too, was lucky to have you in his life. I think of you every time I look at a paperweight I have that says, "I know God won't give me more than I can handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much." I am so sorry for your loss and admire your strength.
Sincerely,
Candy
