Sherri, I'm so saddened by the passing of your father and I wish I could have been there to honor him today as you were there for me at my father's and mother's funerals. You and your family are very much in my thoughts, prayers and tears. I'm so glad that your daughter got to know him. I'm sending a big hug across the miles. And I believe that your father is smiling down on you from heaven full of love and pride.
Sherri, I am so very sorry about the loss of your father. I will be keeping you & your family in my thoughts & prayers. Please let me know if you need anything at all.
While I did not personally know Ron, I know his wonderful daughter, Sherri Robinson. I consider her one of my best friends and am so thankful to have her as a friend. I know Ron must have been a good man to raise such a dear, caring person as Sherri. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family as they mourn this loss.
Phyllis and family, I am so sorry for your loss of Bro. Ron. He was a great man and will be missed greatly. Love you all.
Phyllis, we were so sorry to hear of Ron's passing, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
What wonderful memories we have of our time together in Jonesboro. Leon was just laughing about Ron and that motorcycle he had and said that Ron taught him so much.
So sorry to hear the passing of Ronnie. My prayers and thoughts are with the family, Prayong for comfort in the days ahead.
We're so sorry for your loss. We're rejoicing that Bro. Ron is with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and we will see him once again. Our prayers are with you.
