Condolence From: Harolyne Grant
Condolence: Dear Jeanne, Family and Friends of Ronald:
It has been a little over a year since Ronald died last October 20 2016. Even so, I know he is still loved and will never be forgotten. The passing of time puts a cool bandage on the burning pain of loss, and, … making it through the day, does get easier. Still, the loss hurts, especially when anniversaries come up.
May I tell you about a future day coming when ... all those sleeping, Resting In Peace, will be resurrected to a peaceful, happy life here on a transformed, paradise Earth?
When you welcome back Ronald, with hugs and kisses, your hurt and pain regarding this loss will be replaced with indescribable happiness and tears of joy. Then the scripture at Isaiah 65:17B will be fulfilled for you: "For look, ... the former (painful) things will not be called to mind neither will they come up into the heart." None of the hurts, sorrows or disappointments of life in this system of things will bother us then.
Would you like to know when and how Jehovah God will do such wonderful things for us? The answers are all in the Bible.
Sincerely yours,
Harolyne

Condolence: Dear Jeanne, Rachael, Maureen, Barbara and Jackie, Scott, Morley and Jim, Julia, Morley and Collin, other Family and Friends of Ronald:
I was saddened to learn of the death of Ronald on October 20, 2016 on the McManus website. Even though I did not know Ronald personally, please accept my deepest sympathy at your loss.
I would like to share with you some verses from the Bible that bring continuing comfort, thoughts that others have shared with me when I lost loved ones.
First, it was never our Creator's purpose that anyone should die, ever! When He put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, they had the prospect of endless life in ageless bodies, in perfect health, on a perfect Earth (Genesis 1:28). Adam and Eve could have passed that life on to us, but they sinned and lost everything for themselves ... and us. (Romans 5:12)
Next, it comforted me and softened my feelings toward Jehovah God to learn that it is Satan who causes aging, sicknesses like cancer, and death--not God (Hebrews 2:14). Long before He created humans, the Creator already had all the angels He wanted in heaven (Job 38:7).
Finally, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are our guarantees that this Earth will yet be a peaceful, global paradise and that Ronald (and countless millions including Anne-&-Charles and Larry) will be resurrected to enjoy it! Remember Jesus' words at John 5:28-29a and John 11:25: "I am the resurrection and the life," and "all those in the memorial tombs ... will be resurrected." Until then Ronald, Rest In Peace.
May you have comfort and peace from these promises until the day when you can be reunited with a young and healthy Ronald. And, ... if you would ever like to know more about when and how our Creator Jehovah will bring about these wonderful blessings (or why He has allowed sickness, suffering and death since Adam and Eve sinned so long ago), please feel free to contact me at the address below.
With deepest sympathy and genuine respect,

Condolence From: Pat and Carla O'Donnell
Condolence: Jeanne, We just learned of Ronald's passing and we are heartbroken. Pat was especially saddened by the news. He and Ace had such a close relationship years ago and he regrets not keeping in touch. We have SOOO many fond and fun memories of our times together. I remember calling Ronald a few years ago to try to touch base and asking "Is this Ronald Rutter?" His reply "Could be, who wants to know" LOL! He was such a character!! He used to wake us up in the morning by blowing a trumpet in our bedroom! So many great memories. Our sincere condolences to you and your family. I know there is a void in your life right now, and I pray it will be partially filled with wonderful memories of your life together. The greatest blessing is knowing that we will all be together again in our eternal home. Praying for you in your time of loss Jeanne. May God comfort you with His great comfort and abundant grace. One day at a time.....

Condolence: Ron will never be forgotten or far from our thoughts. We will see him in his children and grandchildren. We will share stories and memories and smile. We will make sure to continue to take lots of pictures for him. He received Jesus as His Lord and savior and we will see him again.
My chains are gone, I've been set free. My God my savior has ransomed me. and like a flood His mercy reigns, unfailing love, amazing grace.

Condolence From: Pastor Jim & Nancy Bickel
Condolence: "It is not death to fling aside this earthly dust;
And rise with strong and noble wing to live among the just.
It is not death to hear the key unlock the door;
That sets us free from temporal years to praise you evermore.
O Jesus, conquering the grave. Your blood has power to save. Those who trust in you, will in your mercy find; That it is not death to die."
