Ron and Family, I remember your Mother as a very kind and gentle Lady with the greatest smile. You will miss her. All those that have known her will miss her, I'm sure. She is with her Lord, but will forever be in the hearts of her Family and friends.
May she REST IN PEACE!
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of the mother of Ron and Pam. I did not know her personally but did teach Pam. I am not sure if I taught Ron.
My thoughts and prayers,
Mr. Legan
