Ronald ”Ronnie” James Green, Jr.
December 28, 1962 – September 18, 1995
Don’t think of him as gone away – his journey began two years ago, life holds so many facets – this earth is only one. We just think of him as resting from the sorrows and tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. We think of him as loving in the hearts of those he touched for nothing loved is ever lost and he is loved so much.
Ronnie has now been joined by his beloved Grandma W. and we know he is sharing his laughter, his smile, and his jokes which we all miss so very much.
We miss and love you as much today as ever, never to be forgotten, Mom, Harvey, Cindy, Debbie, Danielle and all of the rest of your family and many friends.
