Katelyn,
I was so shocked and saddened to hear about Ronnie's passing. Although we were not in touch too often I did think of her and you quite a bit. You two were such a big part of my family's early time in Hope and you and Sarah were fast friends. My heart goes out to you and your family. We wish you the best as you carry on. Remember her love for you was very deep. Rest in Peace Ronnie.
