Marlene. We just heard about Ron. Brian Hall just told us. I’ve asked many times if anyone has heard about Ron. We drive by your house and used to see him mowing. If we would have known, we would have come to pay our respects. I’m so sorry for you and the family. Praying for you. Bob & Shirley Listrr.
Marlene—-We just heard about Ron. I wish we would have known, we would have been up there to pay our respects. We would drive by your home and we would see him out mowing. We haven’t seen him in a long time. I’ve asked people several times if they have heard from him. Brian Hall told us that he passed. Bob and I are so sorry. Praying for you and the family. 🙏
Prayers and hugs to Marlene, Matt, and the entire family. I am so sorry for your loss.
