Jasmine, please know that we are praying for you and your family during this unbelievably difficult time. Ronnie is a brightly shining star who never knew a stranger. I know that everyone who ever met her never left her presence feeling unloved. We may never understand why these things happen here on this earth, but God is always in control and He will be with each of you throughout your lives.
We will continue to pray for the families and friends of everyone involved in this tragedy.
Remember... I am only a call away.❤
Love and prayers,
The Ginn family

My heart was sadden to hear the news of my former classmate "Veronica", known as "Ronnie" had passed. She was always nice and would do whatever she could for you. My heart goes out to the family. May God give you the strength to endure the coming days ahead. I pray that change comes to the Correction Facility and that this does not ever have to happen to another person. She will be missed.

What a beautiful woman, Mrs. Darden was. I am very sorry to read of your loss. With her accomplishments, her love and joys, she was an amazing woman! I won't pretend to know what you're going through, but what has helped me deal with the loss of those I love, is turning to the Scriptures, something that has been a real source of comfort. One Scripture that gives me hope is, John 11:25, which says, "Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." I hope that this verse will also comfort you and, I hope you and your family can get through this difficult time. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your beloved wife, mother and friend.

Heavenly Father, I ask you to comfort Mrs. Darden's family in this time of her homecoming. Help them to realize that weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. Father let your Holy Spirit be a Comforter to each one of them. In Jesus's name I pray Amen.

Dear loved ones,
I know that there are no words that can comfort you now. But I wanted to let you know how sorry I am to hear of this tradgedy. I did not know her personally but from what I've read and heard, she was a beautiful person. My son is a Correctional Officer at the prison also , so I feel personally compelled to offer my deepest sympathy to your family. I pray that God keeps you in his Grace and you find peace.

Don't grieve form me for not I'm FREE
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call.
I could not stay another day.
to laugh, to love to work or play.
Task left undone must stay that way,
I found that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared a laugh or kiss
Oh yes these things I too will miss.
Be not burden with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times a loved ones touch
Perhaps my time seems all to brief
Don't lengthen it now with undo grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now. He set me FREE.

Love always Marrimon and family
