Posted at 22:23h, 19 MayRonnie was a cousin to me and anytime I seen him out and about he was always so nice and smiling.
I loved him and I know he will have no more pain not sickness in Heaven. Time on this earth is temporary, and Heaven is external.
We will miss him but will see him again in Heaven.🌹
