Anonymous

It has now been one year since you left this earth without us. Everyday I think of you & it brings tears to my eyes, at the same time, it brings a smile to my face. Every thought of you that I have, when I close my eyes, is your smiling face. That is what I loved about you, you were always there to listen when I needed you, and you could always turn my bad moods into fits of laughter. I truly do miss you, and wish you were here, but I know you are in a much better place. I hope for your family peace & comfort through these holidays & on the anniversary of your death.

I Love You & Miss You
...till I see you again...

Merry Christmas our sweet hero. We love and miss you so very much.

My prayers go out to Ron's family this week. I can only imagine how tough this week is going to be for you all since the one year aniversary of this tragedy is only days away. Just remember that we are still here for you all. We will never forget the greatest sacrifice that Ron gave in order to serve and protect the us.

And Ron, I know you can hear us from Heaven. Merry Christmas buddy! We MISS you!!!!!

I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below
With tiny lights like heaven's stars,
Reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away that tear.
For I'm spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christain songs
That people hold so dear.
But the sounds of music can't compare
With the Christmas choir up here.

For I have no words to tell you,
The joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description
To hear an angel sing.

I can't tell you of the splendor,
or the peace here in this place.
Can you imagine Christmas
With our Savior, face to face?

I'll ask him to light your spirit,
As I tell him of your love.
So then pray one for another
As you lift your eyes above.

Please let your hearts be joyful,
And let your spirits sing.
For I'm spending christmas in heaven,
And I'm walking with the KING!

It's almost been a year since you had to go and it seems like just yesterday. Every night I pray that you'll be there for you family and help them through this time, for I know it will be incrediably hard and painfull for them. I just wish I had the words to help them through this.

I don't know what to say or do anymore. The more I think about it, the more it hurts. Seeing your friends and family in pain, knowing that your co-workers might suffer the same fate...I feel hopeless. No matter what happens, I will never forget what happened, I will never forget you. You touched my life without ever knowing it. You made a difference in my life and I never said thank you. You made me feel safe when no one else could. I only hope that you hear my prayers and know that now.

Ron, it's been almost a year. In that time, i have gotten closer to your brother Don and sister in law Julie. And every day I pray that you will touch their lives and make it easier to go on. God knows why you had to leave but it left all of us in shock. Please know that you will never be forgotten. Please help your family with this pain... I know that you had to go for a reason...I know that you were that good..but all of us miss you..and love you

nine long heartbreaking months has passed since we have seen your loving smile and hear your dear sweet voice. why is ask everyday why! I know we are not suppose to ask that but I can't help it. You were so happy those last 2weeks of life. Your life was finally going the way it was suppose to go. Then is a matter of minutes you were gone. I know God want only the best and believe me he got one in you. Your were always there when a friend needed you and You had the biggest heart you would give your last dollar if it would help someone. I know God pick you because he knew you was ready but it doesnt make it any easier for those left behind. Thank you for being a great friend and one day we will meet again in heaven and what a glorious day that will be. Until then dear friend, Please watch over us .we love you.

Ron, I'll never forget what we talked about that night before we ran that warrant and, I've never been more certain of it.

Where do we go from here no more laughter, only tears. No more feeling your presence near where do we go from here.
Your love is miss more each day. A blessing that only ones that love you can imbraces.That horrible night still stand in our hearts and minds. But we just dont know where to go from here.Our homes are empty of a voice we love to hear. A vacant place that can never be filled. So God tell us please where do we go from here without our love one that we loved so dear.

To family, friends, and fellow officers my hearts bleeds every time I think of the night of Dec 26, seeing the faces of you all remembering the last hours of that horrible night I can see Ron smiling face and that precious laugh he had I know you long to see and hear that again. So many of us think of him often. I pray every night that this will never happen in Prentiss again or any where else but I know it will. I know Ron is watching over us all and having a good time in heaven. Until we see our sweet officer again lets not forget why he died. And see to it he is remembered. God Bless you all.

29July02....../God Bless Mr.& Mrs. Jones, family and friends. It is still very heart breaking to think about. There has been 70 officers killed in the line of duty since Ron's senseless death. Let's remember them all. Rest in Peace Ron. We love you. A concerned citizen of Covington County, Mississippi.

Ron was such a good friend to me and I miss him dearly. He was such a pleasure to be around and always kept me laughing. There were times when I laughed so hard at him I was crying. I remember the way he would ride his four-wheeler with one arm down while riding in the creek holes. I remember his crazy smile and how he would throw back his head and laugh the most mischievious laugh. He loved the Bee Gees and to this day I can't listen to them without thinking fondly of him. Ron, you must be keeping the angels laughing now. I know you are in a better place but you will be sorely missed by all your friends for a very long time. Laurie Sears

This is to Ronald, Ron's father
I am so deeply sorry for your pain. Since I moved to Prentiss, you have been like a father to me, not only a friend. I only knew Ron a short time but there will always be a special place in my heart for him. I know that your heart is breaking and God knows if I could take that pain away, I would. Please know that Ron was so good and loved so much that his time on Earth, where so much pain and violence exists, is over, he is home, God needed him up in Heaven. Please also know that I am ALWAYS here for you. You are a wonderful person, a wonderful father and police officer. My heart goes out to.
Love,
