Dear Candy,
I cared for Ron prior to his lung transplant many years ago, and also more recently again in pulmonary rehab at Thompson hospital. Ron was such an inspiration and he worked so hard to get back to his life as he endured his health challenges. May you find peace in your treasured memories of this exceptional man. Breathe easy now Ron. I will remember you always.
