My Dearest Fern, Our prayers are with you. No words can express our deepest sympathy. We love you dearly. Lori & girls

Fern, i am so sorry to hear about Ron. My prayers are with you and your family.

I would like to express my sincere sympathy and prayers for Fern and family. Our hearts are heavy with our loss of Ron but we can take heart in knowing that he is with the Lord. Please be consoled by the words the Apostle Paul just before his death wrote to Timothy. Not only were these Paul's words but these are the inspired words of God. The scripture from II Timothy 4:7-8 are most fitting for Ron as he fought a good fight he has finished his course while keeping his faith and he has now a crown of righteousness which shall be given to him on the day of the Lord's appearing Amen. With my love and prayers

Aunt Fern I’m so sorry about Uncle Ron. I know he will be greatly missed. He was a nice and caring man. We always teased each other. We will see him again soon. May God bless and comfort you now and in the days ahead. You’re in my thoughts and prayers. I love you, Teresa

To our sweet friend Fern: Words cannot express our sincere sympathies to you! You and Ron were such good friends. We shall always remember Ron and what a special and unique person he was. Thank God you and Ron restored our little white Church that you and I grew up in! Such precious memories we will have of Ron always! In closing, we shall remember our "chance" meeting Tuesday, January 19. We shall remember Ron as always with a smile and always willing to listen to whatever we had to say about any little thing. He never turned us away... We are still in shock but know that God has a plan for us all! Take care and always, always, know we we are grateful for you and Ron! We love you, Fern! In Christ's love with sadness and tears, Danny & Shelby Quesenberry

We will certainly miss Ronnie. He was an outstanding man who shared his love of life freely with others. He could laugh, love and enjoy with everyone.

Fern, I was so sorry to hear about Ron. He could always make me smile and I will always be "Burlap" to him. May you rest in the comfort of God, family & friends during this sad time. Thoughts and Prayers coming your way.

So sorry to learn of Ronnie's passing. I grew up knowing most of Ronnie's family: our parents were friends. In fact, I believe we were next-door neighbors for a short time, perhaps before Ronnie was born. Many prayers for Ronnie's family and friends.

Fern, Our hearts break for you. Prayers for you. We know the loss is devastating. We love you! Kristen and Paul

Fern & family, I am so very sorry to hear about Ron. We were good friends in high school, so many years ago. I was so looking forward to meeting you and seeing him again. Prayers for strength and comfort. My sincere condolences for your loss. Linda
