Dorothy,
I wanted to express my sympathy to you. Ranson was an incredibly gracious man. I enjoyed being around him whenever the Jenkins clan got together. His laughter and amazing gift of making people feel important will be missed.
I will be thinking of you with love during this time. May the hope you find in Christ be your comfort.
Steve
