Jan,
Oh so sorry for your loss. Ronnie was one of my favorite people to work for and a great friend. Learned a lot from him and had so so many laughs! A terrific Austin Company veteran. Honored to have known he and you for the past 34 years. So many fun times and so many home cooked meals. May God Bless you during this difficult time. Ronnie will be up there watching over you, Monty and the family. See you soon. Love, Carl & Jennifer
So sorry for your loss. Prayers & Love.
We extend to the family of Mr. Diehl our prayers & sincere condolences. We thank God for having him as a neighbor within the Mill Creek West Community. We appreciated his generosity in sharing fresh cucumbers & tomatoes and even sharing his display of lights for various occasions throughout the year. We pray God’s blessings for the family during this season. ~The Frederick Family
