I just read today about Ronnie Carson. From the very first she was kind and sweet to me. Always with a smile and such a wonderful laugh...I will remember always the years and times in Chicago and Scottsdale of my God Father Chris and his wonderful wife Ronnie. With respect to her loving memory...Nia Pierrakeas

To the Carson family,
I would like to express my condolences on the passing of your loved one. I have heard countless stories over the years, from my father, about the wonderful Mrs Carson and what a classy lady she was that I feel I knew her personally. May your beautiful memories of her sustain you during this difficult time of adjustment.

I had the pleasure of seeing Ronnie on
Thursdays when she came to the Pavilion
Senior Center to play bridge. She was a very special lady, and we always looked forward to her arrival. She regaled us with stories of how she met your dad and how scared she was of him, but she never finished the story to let us know how and when she finally fell in love with him.

We at the Pavilion were very sorry to hear of her passing and extend our deepest condolences to all of you.

Dear Carson family.

I am Kathy the niece of Ronnie's good friend "Billie". I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Although I had never met Ronnie I have heard wonderful things about her for many years from my aunt Billie. Billie has not heard the news of Mrs. Carson passing, she has been at her sister's house in Carol Stream. If you would like to contact me, please do. I know my Aunt Billie will be deeply saddened by the news of Ronnie passing away.
Again our deepest condolences from the family of Billie Garnder.

The world is a sadder place without Mrs. C. She kept her wit right up to the end, always quick to tell a joke and make people smile. She was a first class lady. She loved her family and friends. She was most generous with her heart and will be deeply missed. Our deepest condolences, Patti Steele and the Mulick family.
