Dear Ronnie & family, my heart goes out to you in the loss of Ina. She was a very sweet lady who was always kind to me. I know Mom and Dad (Patty & Marvin Owens) thought a lot of Ina. No doubt they are all rejoicing up in Heaven together getting reacquainted. I pray God comforts each of you in a way that only He can do. Blessings always! Love in Christ, your cousin, Pam Orgeron (aka, Owens)

Ina was a wonderful friend. I will always remember her helping me take FHA girls to Columbus for their State Convention. She was always kind and considerate to everyone. She also had a wonderful sense of humor.. Even though we did not see each otherr often, I always felt like we were kindred spirits. Staci, Becki and Dusty, my heart breaks for you. I loved your mother. We both went through the heartache of losing our son’s to melanoma. Scott first and then Chris. What a wonderful reunion is now taking place in Heaven. Ray and I are keeping all of you in our hearts and prayers during this difficult time.
