Ramona was a very kind and gentle soul; she had a loving generous heart, and was always giving to her family, friends, acquaintances and patients. Ramona loved the early morning, sunrise was her favorite time of day. She enjoyed sitting on her porch with a cup of coffee as the birds sang in the day. She was well read and enjoyed a good book and Gospel music. Ramona was and inspiration to her neighbors of Christian kindness. Her wonderful childlike smile was something that everyone that knew her speaks of. Ramona's smile was full of love. Perhaps nothing defined Ramona more than her quiet commitment to God and her love of his word. Her willingness to sacrifice her own dreams for her family stand as a living testament of her love of them. She leaves her loving memories to be cherished by her family and friends.
