The best brother a sister could have. He will be missed everyday and there is a hole in my heart where he should be. Ron, you fought a hard battle and we watched you try so hard everyday to get better. God had different plans for you and needed you in Heaven. Tell everyone up there that we love them and will never forget anyone of them. As a Army Veteran , you fought for your country and I’m so proud of you as every Veteran that fights for our country. There was a brilliant star shining in the sky for you last night and it helped losing you, because we knew you were up there with God and his Angels watching over you now. Love forever & ever. Your proud sister, Sandy. xoxoxxo

I am so sorry for your loss. Certain patients and their families can make an impact on our lives and Ron and your family did that for me. I truly believe this is what he wanted with all that he was facing but that does not necessarily make it easy on those left behind. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, it was an honor being with you during this difficult time.
