Milbre and I were saddened to hear of Brother Ron Roos’ home going this past week. I have so many fond memories of Ron.
I remember a dedicated Christian that loved God with all his heart and lived that way. He was always enthusiastic to serve in any way possible. He gave of himself to so many ministry opportunities.
He loved to visit and pray with people who needed a touch from God.
Ron had the heart of a servant!
This good man will be missed by so many.
Dorothy, our prayers are with you and your family.
May God bless you!
Pastor Don and Milbre Howard

Love and miss you Uncle Ron.
