Hi Ron. This is Angela Rappleye. I don't know if you remember me but I was a punk in your Sunday School class like 15 years ago. I think you called me Morning Sun or something like that! :) Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I am very sorry for your loss and I will pray for you.
What a beautiful picture of Jolene. She's got a beautiful spirit to match. It must have been difficult to choose what to write about Jolene in her obituary. She was so accomplished and driven in everything she did. I know you will be receiving the comfort you need to support you through losing your wife and mom. I send my sympathies to Jolene's parents and family and the Davidson extended family as well. Love, Siri Holman

Dear Ron,
I am so sorry... You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Lisa Coleman (from Heartland)
I wish I could have gone to the funeral. Being overseas has kept me away from many things. I am so sorry for your loss, and I wish you all the best.
You're in our prayers.
Love,

Mrs. Davidson was my 5th grade teacher. I remember her very well. I didn't like science until I was in her class. She always encouraged me to do my best. Many children were touched by her great teaching. She will be missed. My prayers and faith go out to her family as I know they will be with her again.
When I was a new convert as well as a new freshman at BYU, Jolene and I lived on the same floor. What a wonderful example she was to me! She was always so friendly and welcoming to everyone. I was truly saddened to read her obituary, but so grateful to have known her and to have such warm memories of her. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love,
Diane (Burns)Zundel
I am so sorry to hear about this. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I didn't know Jolene very well... just a little through the lacrosse community but I have been thinking about her a lot lately and I don't know why.
Again, my prayers are with you.
