I will never forget the day Ron saved my life. It was early in the morning of June in 2004. My husband and I had just moved to Coeur d'Alene and were introduced to Real Life Ministries. I was taking things to the thrift store in a strip mall in Post Falls. I had not yet met Ron. I had my arms full when Ron saw me and said, "Let me help you. I'm going there to meet Dave Alverson." I thought, "what a nice gentleman!" Then it happened...
We started to walk and talk and suddenly a very fast moving car was bearing down on us. I was alongside of Ron and was about to step directly into its path. If Ron had not put his arm in front of me, my next step would have been my last! As the car whizzed by, all I saw was a woman's face with her eyes as big as saucers. It was then I knew that Ron was truly a man of God, sent to me to save me from certain death.
Betsy, we have enjoyed many adventures with you and Ron since then, in Mexico and cruising the Mediterranean, or just spending time with you both at home in Idaho. Ron will be missed by us. He just beat us to heaven!
Betsy, know that Del and I love you and we are here to help in any way we can.
Blessings,
Mary (and Del)
