Very sorry for your loss. Prayers to all.
The world has lost a great Christian man. My heart is heavy for his family and friends who have been left behind. My family loved Ronnie (and Shirley), as well as the entire family. He was a true friend and the best preacher ever. He always preached the truth from the Bible and what he believed. He never tried to sugar coat anything. He stepped all over my toes when he preached; but, that is exactly what I needed. I can truly say he was one of the finest people who I have known. God bless his family and friends during this difficult time. You were blessed to have Ronnie as your husband, dad, grandfather, friend, etc.
Sorry for your loss. Praying for you during this difficult time.
Praying for God to give you all comfort at this time, Rev Ronnie was a great man and I really enjoyed his preaching. I’ll always remember when I was pregnant he announced to the congregation to please pray that I would have a baby girl because he knew how much I wanted one!! God Bless and I will pray for God to wrap HIs loving arms around you all.

Sorry to hear about your loss God b with your family.Ronnie was a great man
Hi my name is Kayla and I am a local bible teacher. I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. There is a very comforting scripture at Isaiah 258. It says that soon Jehovah will swallow up death forever and that he will wipe away all of the tears. So we can all look forward to a time when death will be no more. I hope that this scripture can bring some true comfort during these difficult times.
SHIRLEY, GWEN, TERRY AND FAMILY, I WAS SADDENED TO HEAR OF RONNIES PASSING OVER TO BE WITH HIS LORD AND SAVIOUR NOW. PLEASE KNOW I WILL BE KEEPING YOU ALL IN MY PRAYERS AS MANY DAYS OF GRIEF AND MOURNING COME AND GO.. IN JESUS NAME I PRAY FOR YALL. SUE FORD CHAMPION
When we find the hand that will dry the tears that the heart is crying- theres but one place to go, & that is to God & dropping all pretense & pride, we can pour out our problems without restraint & gain strength, with him at our side- (Isa. 25 8) May Jehovah bless you & keep you. (Num. 16) (John 3 6 24) Remember we have the hope of seeing our loved ones again at the resurrection.
