"Message from Wendy Dio (taken from his Website)

Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May. Many, many friends
and family were able to say their private good-byes before he
peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so
appreciate the love and support that you have all given... us. Please
give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss. Please
know he loved you all and his music will live on forever. - Wendy Dio"
