Lena Mae, I am so sorry and am praying that God will wrap his arms around you and console your heart.
I have tried many times since Buddy called me, but no one answered.
I expect you are staying with some of the children.
I will try and be there if not at the showing , then at the funeral.
God bless all of the family

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Ron was a good friend of mine for many years. We often talked on the radio for hours. A few years ago, I moved and haven't gotten an antenna in the air because of my disabilities but we continued to keep in touch via email occasionally. I didn't hear of his passing until last evening through a mutual acquaintance or I definitely would have been at the service to pay respect.
May God hold you all in His comforting arms as you grieve.
Sincerely,
Henry AKA Hanky Panky or KB9HFC
