To Ron and all Marsha’s family:

We were not able to be at the memorial in Scotts Valley because of illness.

We want you to know our hearts and prayers were with you. Marsha was very dear to us as we had known her for many years, and we knew how warm and talented and creative she was. Although she struggled with heart disease for most of that time, we never thought of her as being sickly. She always radiated energy and enthusiasm. She was truly an inspiration to us, and, we know, to many others who loved her as we did. We have all lost someone very special who lit up the room when she entered. Her memory will continue to light up our lives, and we hope yours too as you face these sad days and that those many happy memories may comfort you now.

Our sincere condolences,

With much love, your cousin

Jeannine and Joe

Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our loved ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.Ron, A look at the stars, the touch of a hand, you and your family are wished whatever comforts you. You are wished what ever brings peace to you and your heart.

When I feel the softness of a gentle breeze,I will think of you. When I remember your glowing smile, my heart will be touched. And,when I think of that 20second rule we shared while cooking dinner,it'll bring laughter to my soul. You have welcomed me into your precious family and I will forever be blessed.You just dont know what you did,because you're stuck with me now.You will always remain a part of my life through memories and life itself.The talks I shared with you is a gift I will always treasure.I will miss that about you,as I will miss not seeing you anymore. But the mind can keep alive what is no longer here and one can see in dreams what has left this earth. Now,you're in a better place,no more illness,no more pain.It's God's turn to have you.What a journey you are forever in. From time to time I will still share a moment or two of a small conversation with you,even if only in thought. A precious hug your way.The pleasure has been all mine.

My Second Mom

In older times, the days before "little" Ron and I got married, we did the kinds of things 20 year olds do. I don't need to elaborate, but let's just say we were probably a handful. I remember Ron liked to BBQ in the front yard of the Scotts Valley house, especially when the "p's" were out of town.

Much could have been said, but Marsha always seemed to take it in stride. "Boys will be boys," she would say, and she loved hers--all of them. I feel a lot like one of the boys too! She took me and fed me and always made me feel like a part of the family. Ron's place was like a second home, and Marsha a second mother to me.

I'll have more to say when I clear this lump from my throat, and the fog clears. In the meantime, I love you Marsha and I will miss my second mom.
