Ronda Lee Ballew

I have so many wonderful memories with Ronda it's hard to decide which to share. I remember so many Oakland A's games together, walking across that funky bridge to the colosseum and looking at the junk down below and commenting on the cool things we'd see there and laughing. I remember fondly times when Ronda and my mom were talking about things I may or may not have understood at the time, but they were so happy together. It was so nice to share our love for classical music as I started performing and she would come to my concerts. I cherish the relationship we were able to have. She will be so greatly missed.

I miss Ronda so much! She's so bright and happy in some of the very earliest memories of my life: driving us around, chatting and joking and laughing. Introducing me to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", not the book but the early 80's computer game, which I didn't understand a bit and enjoyed all the more for it. Telling me about the C language. Taking us to a baseball game. Sad as this time is, I remember that she really _lived_, she got to do a whole lot and see a whole lot here on Earth. Gave and received a whole lot of love.

Thank you, Jerry, for all you have done for my beloved sister, Ronda, throughout the years. She felt honored to be your wife and although at times she didn’t show it, her highest priority was to do her best to help you and to be your best friend. My love for Ronda doesn’t need to be put in words, she is my beautiful little sister. And you will always be my brother-in-law, Jerry, and my friend. Love from Robin

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
