Ray and Family, I am so sorry to hear about your loss.  Ramona was always such a happy person, she loved to smile and listen to you talk about her.


I first met Ramona at Kellogg Middle School during summer school.  Her eyes would light up the room when her dad would walk into the room and lift her up to sit on his lap.  They loved spending time together.


Rest in Peace, Ramona, You are in a good place with No Pain

My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family.God has another Angel.I was so blessed to have been part of Ramonas life and the families,for so many years.I was Ramonas caregiver for many,many years.I was hired to help care for her,but what i got in return,was far more.She taught me so much about strength,love and never giving up.She always had a smile for everyone.When you thought she was asleep,she would be listening in on conversations and would open her eyes to let you know that she heard what you said.I loved watching how she would brighten up when her mom walked into the room,or her sister.She had a very special bond with her father as well.So many days when i felt "down" she would be my sunshine and brighten things up for me.I never had one day where i didnt want to go to work.While on vacation i always looked forward to coming back to this Angel. She will forever be watching over everyone,and she will be listening,because i always called her "snoopy" cuz she would listen in on phone calls.ha. My daughter thought the world of her,they were the same age.Even two weeks before she went into the hosp,my daughter called and wanted to talk to Ramona.Ramona smiled listening to Nikki talk.They had a special friendship.But Ramonas mom was her biggest hero.She lived her life around Ramona.They say that God sends these special children to very special parents and i totally believe that.Ramona will forever be missed and loved and i thank her and her family for letting me be part of her world for so many years.I feel blessed. God be with her family during this difficult time. I love you Ramona,forever and ever,Princess.

Rita and family:


I am so very sorry for your loss. I’m heart broken and having a difficult time wrapping my head around this sweet girl being gone. I feel so blessed that for the past six years, I have had the opportunity to spend many days, evenings, weekends, and holidays helping care for Ramona, while she put up with all of my gossip and drama, terrible singing and dance moves, trashy tv shows (especially our Bachelor Monday nights), graduate school, break ups, career changes, wedding planning, challenging work days, and subpar diaper changing skills. I watched her fight through tough battles and she’d still manage to throw out an infectious smile. 


Rita, you and Ramona became constant supports in my life and I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity you gave me to be a part of your lives, and for the growth, love, and life experience that has enriched my life. You are an incredible human being and mother, and I love you both so much.

Renee and family, so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts  and prayers.

Ray, Rita and families--our thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of your dear Ramona. She is now in a place free of pain and discomfort, smiling down on all of you. May you cherish your countless good memories with her. 

so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers!
