Dee,Ryan,and Family,
We just found out today on 8-28, that Ron past. I just talked to him quite awhile late night at HyVee when we met doing shopping recently. Ron was like a second father to Frank and you a second mother. What a great guy and human being. We would have been at the funeral for sure if we had known. I'm so glad that I got to talk to him recently. Your family has done so much for mine. Ryan is my son's brother & best friend, in every way, but blood, and he one of our kids. We feel your' loss. Our hearts go out to all of you. We will be contacting you. Call if you need anything.
Love you all,
Bill & Theresa Boyd
