It's taken me a while for this to sink in.
What can I say, we became close friends since I first met you at Mrs. Ellen Bontrager's house around Christmas time. I believe I was 4 and you were 5 and I fell in love right away. You were the handsomest boy I had ever saw at that time lol.. Our dads had a business together, so we hung out with each other all the time. Ransom, you were a huge part of my life. You really had a very kind heart, caring, very smart and just over all a wonderful man.
I will always remember the times we had and we got to hang out. Your family will forever be so dear to my heart, and you will be very missed. I will forever pray for your children, and know that you loved them so much, your little boy looks just like you. I promise to love your mom always and forever, she is a precious jewel I hold very dear.
May you find peace, love and joy where you are, may you find out the secrets of the universe.
Until we see each other again :)♡

My sincere condolences go out to Ransoms children and family. I am saddened by this news and thought i would share my story about Ransom. I went to school with Ransom and although I didnt know him well he stood up for me once when someone was calling me names. Even though it was a petty and childish thing that happened a long time ago. I was very embarrassed in front of my friends until Ransom told the boy to go away and leave me alone. Ill never forget how relieved i was to have someone "rescue me" from that bully. Im so sorry for this familys loss. Take care and God bless.
