Dear Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Ronel from Caldwell when I lived right next door to her and the boys and my sons, Kenny and Scott were best friends with hers. I’m going to miss her so much.

This just hurts my heart! She was a dear friend. I did her hair for years and always marked out extra time so we could just chat and solve the world’s problems. After I moved to AZ, we remained friends on FB and Via phone. Loved her so much!!!!

Thank you so much. I can`t erase 36 years in 30 days. I miss her so much, but I cannot wish her back the way she was.
Thank you
Tom

Very sorry to hear of Ronel’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. Such a fun loving, adventurous soul and even better cook 🙂 I truly appreciate the times we visited in the fall and talks about the history of Wyoming & stories about the family.
