To Donna and Family, I was so saddened to hear about Ronnie. I haven't talked to him since his retirement
from the school district, but he was always fun to talk to when he'd call me at work (NM Police Dept). He loved to kid
around and was always friendly, upbeat, and helpful, too. He was a really great detective and he and Ronnie E. made a great
team. They've both been taken from us way too soon. Both Bob and I want to send you our deepest sympathy and pray that
your wonderful memories will see you through this most difficult time. We'll keep you and your family in our prayers.

Donna, Brian and Todd, I was so shocked to hear about Ron and I guess you
could say I am still in shock. I remember the great times we had camping together when our boys were younger. I remember Ron
cutting firewood and hunting all the time. I remember him calling us when he found our lost cat at the elementary school when
an alarm went off. I remember going to the beach and all the good fish that were caught. I can remember alot of great times.
My prayers are with you and your family as you go through this terrible time. I know Ron will keep an eye on you and make
sure you are safe. Donna, you will feel his love for you everywhere you look or go. If there is one thing I can say it is
that he really loved you more than anything. We will keep in touch and I am here if you need me.
