I first met Ronnie when she moved  to SLP from Chicago.  I think that we were about  15 years old and in the tenth grade.  Then  45 years later, I received a message from her on Facebook.   I was so surprised to find out that she was also living in  the Los Angeles area.   We used to see each other whenever I drove up to the valley to have my hair done. We would talk for hours about our families and about Minneapolis.   I remember how excited she was when her daughter became engaged.  Coincidentally, we were supposed to be in Minneapolis at the same time.  I was visiting my mom and she was coming in  for her daughter's bridal showers. Unfortunately, we didn't get together.

Then when my husband and I returned from Sicily I had messages on Facebook that she had passed away.  I really regret that I didn't get to see her before she passed on.  I  enjoyed seeing her in Los Angeles  and having her as my friend.
