I am so sorry
Melanie,
Words cannot explain how sorry I am for what has happened, I'm still in shock, and my heart aches for you. I will say however, that everytime I saw Ron walking into the diner I knew it was gonna be an exciting day, we all laughed for countless hours, he was loud and crazy but you just had to love him. It was a pleasure having him as a friend.
You know that if there is ANYTHING I can do for you or the kids just ask, I'm here and I'm sure it's safe to say everyone at the diner is also here for you.
You and the kids are loved and in my prayers,
Gem
