    My grandpa was the most amazing, loving caring person you ever met. He would give you the shirt off his back and he is loved and will be missed by many.

    Sherry, Ronnie was more than your husband, he was your best friend and that makes your loss harder. My memory of Ronnie will always be the time we visited and the two of you put together a meal in no time, and he fried some really good fish. Always wondered what his secret was. As you face the next days, remember that you loved and were loved. And I can’t imagine a woman anywhere who is stronger and tougher than you….unless it’s Charlene! Sending prayers for you, Rhonda, Chip, Tracy and the rest of the family during this tough time.
