Ron lived next door to my daughter, Margaret Conant., in Marion. Ron was a caring person who looked out for my daughter. I won’t forget that about him. May God bless Ron.
Seth and Tate my deepest sympathies to your entire family on the loss of your father. I will be praying for all of you during this most difficult time.
I am so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. May the God of All comfort give you a measure of comfort during this difficult time & may He comfort you through the many prayers in your behalf. (2Corinthians 1:3, 4, Revelation 21.3, 4)
