My Cowboy, My Marine, My Gentle Man, My Darlin
Ronnie was kind, calm, gentle, tender, loving, gentle and so much more. He had a special way with animals, especially dogs and horses and an even more amazing way with babies and children. I never felt safer, happier or more loved. We had a wonderful 26 years together that I truly cherish.
