I am heartbroken today about finding out about my Uncle Ronnie. I moved away years ago...and although I always thought about coming home, I rarely did. I regret that now. You always think you have more time than you really do. I never would have thought that Ronnie would leave us so young. He was always YOUNG...he was never going to be "OLD" he taught me to laugh and not worry about what anyone else thinks. He was the coolest family member I ever had...he and I used to ride around in his Corvette, I taught him how to "hustle" and other dances before he went to the nightclubs, he really was "John Travolta" to me. He loved his sports, he loved his friends...they were family and he was blessed to have such amazing friends. He never desired to be "above" anyone, he had not an aggressive bone in his body, he was humble, happy and content with who he was in live. I admire him for that and so much more. Ronnie was close to my Mom, Christine and I will always remember hearing them laugh and laugh all night on the phone and their Steelers/Browns debates ! I loved my Uncle Ronnie more than he will ever know, and that is sad. I wish I told him sooner. Time waits for no one and that is a lesson I am learning too late it seems. Our family has suffered some great losses and has in many ways been a tragic love story....I hope and pray when we all get to the other side, we get another go around...I think we deserve a second chance... I am proud to be his Niece and proud that my Uncle was a "one of a kind" Uncle that I was blessed to have. I will never forget so much about him and it is tragic that his life ended too soon but I will hold onto the thought that he and my Mom are laughing together again in Heaven...I can't wait to see him again one day. Rest high on that Mountain Ronnie... Please give my Mom & Dad a hug from me and tell them I love them so much. Hold Madeline for us. Watch over us through the "holes in the floor of heaven" and even though I am a Steelers fan forever...I will route for the Browns in my heart for you always. I LOVE YOU <3 I am glad that my daughter Hope remembers you and she will always LOVE YOU too...Jeremy is so sad today to...He thought you were the coolest ...who didn't who knew you?
