Dear Mary Ann, Eddie, Frank, Richard, Patti and families,
I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your wonderful Ron. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I know that Ron, while in the embrace of our Lord, will soon find an ideal spot in heaven from which to observe and continue to provide his love and support to you all. It seems so long ago, Mary Ann, that you and Ron first bumped into each other, and so very many blessings have showered the Corbetts since then; and yet it has been way too short a time. Peace, Comfort and Blessings, Pat
