Dear Karen and family--my deepest sympathy to you in the sudden passing away of Ron. You and Ron were one of the first couples I met when I started attending HRC and I knew right away you loved the Lord and each other. May God be very near to you in this difficult time and give you comfort and peace. May He embrace you with His loving arms and give you strength and guidance for the days ahead. May you always treasure special memories of times spent together and feel God's presence at your side in special ways in this time of sorrow and grief. So sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you. With sympathy, Betty

"Rosewood Ron" was such a wonderful example of what a Christian businessman should be. He treated us like family and always took care of our car issues in an honest manner. He will be missed!
