Debbie,
We were so shocked and saddened to hear about Ronnie's passing! I knew he had some declining health but did not know he had passed til we saw it on Pam's facebook. We do not yet have your address so I wanted to be sure to tell you and that you and the family are in our thoughts and prayers!

I knew Ronnie well and loved him dearly as a friend. I know he touched peoples lives at every turn. No matter what he was going through he always had time to listen and share encouragement with others. I am a better man because of our friendship. It is truly amazing to see the number of people commenting here that they "didn't know him personally" but were touched by him by his posts and in other ways. WOW! What a great testament of showing/sharing God's perfect love. He was the epitome of ministry and we will continue to learn from him. Love you bro!

On a almost a daily basis, I was completely uplifted and blessed by the happy heart of Ronnie Cole on Appalachian Mountain Friends. He left behind a huge imprint of godly testimony to us as a group---and to others who don'l know Christ. I am saddened by his passing---but thrilled he is alive and well today in that place of wonder called Heaven. To his family who watched his struggle---I send hugs and peace of heart. We will all meet someday when this is over and be safe forevermore.

Message from Patricia Couey Maupin

We shall deeply miss Ronnie and his posts on AMF. Ronnie always would try to lift everyone up when he was going to dialysis and days he was so sick. I never met him but he was a good Christian man who loved his family and God. My deepest condolences to the family and to our AMF group as we have lost a member of our family also.

I am so sorry to hear of Ronnie's passing. I often think of him and your family when I water my plant that sits on the lovely small table he made for me. I am so sorry we lost touch over the years when we lived so close by. I will always remember him coming to our fellowship in Independence and the wonderful Thanksgiving we shared together. Much love to you.

Ronnie was such a great inspiration to so many through his posts on AMF. Each day I looked forward to reading his message and I was never disappointed. At times I felt he was speaking directly to me. He spoke of his love of Jesus - he sure knew Him and wanted all of us to know and love Him as he did. Ronnie enjoy your mansion that God has provided for you. RIP

To Ronnie's Family, I pray for peace beyond all understanding. Ronnie is where he wants to be & waiting for all of us to join him when it is the right time. May God give you His special peace for all that knew & loved him & to all of the people that read his postings, Ronnie, you will be missed so much. You were this old minister's morning read & time with God. Fly High My Brother in Christ.

I didn't personally know Ronnie, but, from reading his post, it was evident that he was a child of God. We know that he is at home with his Heavenly Father now, where there will be no more pain, sadness, sorrow, or any other of the things endured here on earth by Gods Children. I pray for the family to feel the presence of the Lord's loving arms around them during this painful time awaiting the coming of our Lord to take them home to be with Ronnie for ever.

To Ronnies Family- I am so sorry for your loss. Ronnies posts were looked for everyday. We all cared how he was and looked for the Word he would share. It was clear his love for Our Father.
