Dear Ron and Family,
There are no words that can be said to ease the pain of losing someone dear to you. I have been there too many times in my life and nothing helps more than having the support from Family and friends.
Alexandra and I had a great time this past July visiting with you and Kay and I am so glad that I gave Alexandra the opportunity to have that experience. Over the years I feel that I became close with the both of you and it doesn’t end here.
My thoughts are with you and my deepest condolences go out to you, Marcia and Janet.
God bless.
Neil
