Hi Dawna, I dont know if you would remember me but my Dad was a good friend to Ron. His name was Ray Hope and he passed away 6 years ago. I know I called Ron and he came to Dad's funeral and I was so happy to see him there! Im am deeply sorry to hear about Ron's passing and my thoughts are with you and your family at this time.....
