Continue ReadingSome of us spend our entire lives earning our wings. Others are so perfect they have their wings at birth. Our son, Ronald James Drozd IV, was one of those perfect souls. In his few short hours on earth, RJ touched countless lives and left his imprint on our hearts.
RJ came into this world on July 7, 2013, a tiny but perfect being. He was held, loved and baptized before being called to heaven. He will be forever missed by his parents, Ronald (Rocky) Drozd III and Lynn Laszewski, and his big sister, Annya, all of whom loved him beyond measure.
Also carrying him forever in their hearts are RJ's grandparents, Jerri (Todd) Mosher, Appleton; Joann (Peter) Mariahazy, Menasha; and Ronald (Pam) Drozd Jr., Oak Forest, Il; great-grandparents Arcelia Crupi, Little Chute; Ronald and Mariann Drozd Sr., Crestwood, Il; and Carleton (Cully) Selig, Appleton.
RJ's family also includes aunts and uncles: Jeff Laszewski, Andrea Selig and Stephen (Kelly) Mariahazy, all of Appleton; and Nicole Drozd, Blue Island, Il; cousins, Lyla and Evalyn Mariahazy, Appleton.
Preceding RJ in death were his maternal great-grandparents, Paul and Patricia Fancher.
We will honor RJ in a memorial service at 1:00 PM Saturday, July 20, 2013, at Wichmann Funeral Home Tri-County Chapel, 3212 S Oneida St., Menasha WI. Friends may call at the funeral home beginning at noon. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been established.
Those we have held in our arms for a little while, we hold in our hearts forever.

Our prayers go out to you at this time of mourning. The first couple of lines in your precious baby's obituary, seem to say it all! We are thinking of you and praying for your strength as a family.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

I send my sympathy to your family at this very sad time. I pray that you will receive comfort from our Heavenly Father and love and support from many people. It takes a village to deal with this. I know Joann from the YMCA.
