Dear Suzanne and family,
I send my sincere condolences on the recent passing of your dear and faithful husband and father, Ron. I remember him vividly as a child at the Lancaster Church of the Brethren with the Kohr family. I was a flower girl at your wedding and still have pictures of it. Ron was a faithful member of the church and spread cheer to everyone. My parents, John and Inez Long, admired you both greatly.
Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time of loss.
With sympathy,
Kathy Long Missildine

Uncle Ronnie was in a league all his own. I remember he always had a joke whenever I saw him. All the pleasant memories when I was a little girl visiting his house for dinner, parties and just to catch up.
Aunt Suzi, Jenny and Rodney – I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sure he will be greatly missed by you all and his surviving sister, Janet V Newton. Peace be with him in Heaven!
