"A dear dear man named Ron. So nice to talk with, so nice to see him almost daily during his 2 mile walk thru our neighborhood. He was special in that he evoked and emitted his special niceness with his very own good morning or hello followed with our small talk of the weather and such. And oh, the warm greeting he would give to our dog Sweetpea whom he has a special feeling for as Ron brought Sweetpea to us. And oh boy, she would greet Ron as he would bend down with his hands on his knees and so sweetly say her name. God, we will miss his being. He is now left us much much too soon, gone where he is positively an added treasure.Your friends, Alex and Judy"

I can say that I have and still am able to find peace of mind knowing that Jesus will soon "call out to all those in their memorial tombs and they will hear his voice and come out."-John 5:28,29 May this bring you peace as we anxiously await this momentous day. With Christian love and deep respect."
