Ronee is one of my dearest friends and I have known her since the late eighties. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Tragically, Ronee lost her beloved son Jayson in a fiery helicopter crash yesterday. Jayson was only in his early 40s and leaves behind a darling wife ant two young sons ages 4 and 6. Jayson and family live just up the street from Ronee. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">As you can well imagine, Ronee is simply devastated with grief! None of us can imagine losing a child and Ronee was so very close to both her son Jayson and her daughter Becky who resides in Jacksonville. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I will attend the funeral tomorrow at noon. I know I can count on you for healing prayers for Ronee as she struggles to carry on. Jayson has been a helicopter pilot for many years and Ronee always worried about some sort of accident occurring. We mothers are just like that when it comes to our children. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">With love and a heavy heart,<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Kathy Davis<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div>
