Seven years ago today, Ronnie took his own life, and I truly believe he went to heaven because he would give the shirt off of his back, the last dime from his pocket, to anyone in need. He was cynical, but he was brilliant and an artist, and a musician, and he was everything to his kids and grandkids. It still stings. No more calls from that sweet man with that quiet voice. So kind.
The pain of losing a loved one never goes away but neither do the wonderful memories we have with them or the love we have for them. Today I share in remembering Ronnie with you.

Its odd, how out of nowhere, a memory pops into our minds, very often followed by a tear. Its like where did that come from ? For me its a Guns & Roses tune and even after 15 years it is often a tear trigger always followed by a smile.

Cindy, I never saw this thread before. It must still hurt that you posted about it yesterday.

We are so sorry for your loss of a family member. Give our hugs to Rick and to you. Peter and Emmy.
