Most Recent Reflection
View all 51 ReflectionsI too remember that day, and will the rest of my days. I appreciate your reflection of my brothers death. I'm sure your task that day was a very difficult one. It has been a long time since his death but people remember that sad day still. Ronnie was number 4 of the children of 5. He was always a joy to be around. He had a huge sense of humor. He also loved the Lord. He was my backup when I had to qualify for the state. I was attending the University of Houston Law Enforcement Academy. I eventually got a job with Fort Bend County. Ronnie attended my graduation. I was so proud. I Love you brother
