It was such a pleasure to read about Ronnie’s life and how this special relationship helped shape the wonderful person you are today. Thank you for sharing your uncle with us this week, Chris. I’m so deeply sorry about his passing. ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss, Chris. My sincerest condolences to you, yours and his loved ones. There are certain people who are life-changing, blood or otherwise, and we are so lucky to have them. Aside from my Papa, my (great) Aunt Marion was that angel for me. She passed away of ovarian cancer on my first day of film school, just about a year after my grandfather. In some ways, I see Uncle Ronnie joining Laurie on that day as poetic. That doesn't make it any less hard for those who loved them, of course, but isn't it also an example of their connection? That thread the weaves through all of us. Thank you so much for introducing us to such a wonderful man and his family, Chris. You really showed us who he is. (Present tense intended.) xo
So sorry for your loss and Ronnie's family's loss, Chris. Thank you for sharing a little part of him here with us and sharing your experiences with him.
This was so beautifully written, Chris. I'm so sorry for the pain you and your family are experiencing. It's wonderful to read how much Ronnie was a guide in your life and I guarantee, through your writing, that you were able to do the same for him. Sending you love as you grieve a tremendous loss.
Chris, your tribute to Uncle Ronnie is incredibly touching. It's a beautiful thing how we connect with others through the shared experiences of family. My uncle Ronnie passed and his wife's name is Linda. Reading felt like a hello from the other side. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful, loving tribute, Chris. There's something comforting in sharing how wonderful a person has been, and what they've met for you, to those that haven't met them. I feel like I know Ronnie and I'm glad you have so many fond memories.
Thanks for sharing your Uncle Ronnie with us. I expect there were some tears as you composed this reflection. He sounds like a very special presence in your life. I'm inspired that through his pain he continued to love and reach out. God bless.
