Carin, Patrick and Family,



What a wonderful friend and neighbor I found in Roni. Her love and laughter will be missed by many, but her Spirit will live on in both of you. God Bless you with Peace in her passing and many Irish Blessings as she reunites with your Dad after a long separation.



My sympathy and my Prayers.

Dear Carin: My thoughts are with you and your family. Roni was such a pure joy to be around and I can see how much fun the 2 of you had together. Having met both of you has added to my love of Charlotte and Bunco. Thank you so much for sharing her with us as well. Wishing you well and lots of love.

Ronnie was a wonderful Aunt. She was our link to the Midwest and our family relations out there. Her laughter and bright smile will be a strong memory for me.

We last saw Ronnie at my mom and dad's 50th wedding anniversary in San Diego. She looked wonderful and enjoyed being around the family. And her trademark "so on and so forth" was heard around the dinner table.

Mom and I went to the Hotel Del with her the next day and we enjoyed every minute with Ronnie.

She came to all the weddings, reunions and family gatherings and for that I am eternally grateful.

May she rest in peace.

Love,

Diane Chapmam

Our lives were richer for the presence of Roni in them. No one could wear a hat with more panache! For such a small person she is certainly larger than life now. My sympathy and prayers are with all family members and friends at this sad, sad time.
