To the Podborny Family,

I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. I will never forget seeing Ron & his "entourage" (all of you) at the hospital. He had a light that shone through him and even only knowing him for a few moments one could tell that he was an extremely kind and good man. This was made even more obvious by the way that you all cared for him while he was sick. It was wonderful to witness such a loving & supportive family such as yourselves and is something that very few people are blessed with. You are all in my thoughts and prayers, he is your angel looking over you now and I'm sure you will see him again in heaven someday.

To the Podborny, Trumblay, and Lori Jones Family: Your families are in my thoughts and Prayers at this most difficult time. I will always remember and hold the laughter and special times when we all sat around Lori's kitchen table and enjoyed our family card game. Ron always had a smile on his face , Always happy to see us all and always made us all laugh with his great sense of humor. My heart goes out to this entire family.
