Danny Takao March 20, 2017, 1:41 PM | To Christine, Cathy, Dianne, and Donna, My apologizes for missing all your special events with your Dad and Mom. Ive come to realize we have no control of when we leave this earth and how to judge what weve accomplished while we travel this journey. But Ive now come to see our legacy is what we leave behind in our family. Uncle Ronnie left behind a very loving and caring family all the way to the end. The Girls are outstanding citizens along with the families each of them have created. I will miss my uncles gentle demeanor and his kindness. |
