Ron Payton, a dear family friend, passed away unexpectedly, and for once I find myself at a loss for words.
A man so full of light and life, he instantly lit up a room the moment he entered. It was impossible to be grumpy around that smile.
He had a voice that could make me bounce with glee and eyes that twinkled like the stars. Watching him sing and perform was an absolute joy.
Story time is over, and I just can't believe I'll never see him again.
His charm, his grace and his kindness were unparalleled, and he will be sorely missed.
Ron, we love you. Always will.
