Gail, it has broken my heart, to hear of Ronnie's passing,of all the brothers, I found he was the closest I was to. Even thought we had our ups and downs he was always in my heart and mind. His laughs and smiles I'll always remember, I never got to say it to him, but to you Gail I say I loved him and still do from the bottom of my heart. I so wish to be there, but I can't. So on Saturday I'll spend the time in thought and prayer for my brother Ron. And Gail I know how much he loved you and how you were more than husband and wife, you both were the best of friends. your brother-in-law Dave Vaughan.

I was looking at the picture of Ronnie and it brought back so many great memories of the milk truck he took me on, the water out the second window while we collected the money he threw out minutes before, the Santa Claus in the middle of the summer, the convertable rides where he tried to find boyfriends for my sisters and they just keep coming back. Being at your home always made me feel comfortable, happy, late card games. He will be always missed and I am so very sorry for your lose. Ronnie will always be around and he always brought a smile to me as he will always everytime I think about him. Love Brian
