    Life as a McDowell cousin has changed forever with your passing my dear Ronnie. Going to the McDowell annual family reunion was always an exciting opportunity filled with many traditions. The unofficial greeter always was our tall, handsome, crazy Ronnie. He would hug you so hard to carry on the tradition of our Uncle Bailey Lee. It wasn’t just a hug, it was his moment to whisper in your ear comfort , awareness,congratulations, guidance and tenderness. Ronnie, like no other cousin in our large family always seem to know what you needed in his annual greeting. What we need now my dear cousin is you and your famous hug. We will always love and appreciate big Ronnie. Thank you Rivenbark’s for sharing him.
