Journal entry by vicki snider —
Thursday May 5 Ron passed away. He went peacefully as i was by his side. I knew it was close but i still wasn’t prepared for it. I am broken-hearted. I couldn’t have asked for a better brother. Unless you knew him it’s so hard to explain what kind of person he was. He was special to everyone who knew him. Loved by everyone. He had no enemies. Selfless, kind, giving, loving are just a few of the words to describe Ron. He went through so much with his health. He still kept his sense of humor through it all. He spent over 10years taking care of my mother and actually moved in with her the last 2 years of her life and he took off work for her last year. I miss him terribly . I can’t see myself ever getting over this loss. This is so close to the loss of my daughter. I’m so darn sad. The last two months Ron and I had so many heartfelt conversations. I made him many promises which I’m trying to keep but darn it’s hard. We cried together more times than i can count. Please keep praying for Ron snd our family. We will be having a celebration of life in the near future to celebrate Ronnie’s life and i will post that when the plans are finalized. Thank you so much for everyone’s support during this last year. It has meant so, so much to us. Sending love to all of you
