I Lost my sister to cancer six years ago… REST IN PEACE IN ROCK-N-ROLL-HEAVEN TILL WE MEET AGAIN RONNIE JAMES DIO Here is part of the song:Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;where there is hatred, let me sow love;where there is injury, pardon:where there is doubt, faith ;where there is despair, hopewhere there is darkness, lightwhere there is sadness, joyO divine Master,grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;to be understood, as to understand;to be loved, as to love;for it is in giving that we receive,it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.Amen.

Regarding some of the insenstive comments, the Saviour had the harshest words for those who were judgmental–and religious. “Judge not lest ye yourselves be judged.” As for my own thoughts, Ronnie will be greatly missed, and my prayer is now that he is in a place of rest and joy. My prayer is also that those hit hardest by this loss will receive love and support from God, family and friends.
Dio was a hell of a singer, but we hope he gets to heaven! Russian Dio fans
Actually,Dio first used the hand sign in the song long live rock and roll.And he explained in concert that is what the hand sign meant to him and his fans.The grandma thing is true as well,but for show biz he changed it to long live rock and roll.The devil horn spin started after he went solo.
One of my favorite albums is Black Sabbath Live Evil. That was a great raw jam and inspired me to play guitar and other instruments. RJD was a big part of that and I will never forget him God Bless RJD ,RIP. Love RGH

Words added by Dio in the song Heaven and hell:
There’s a big black sheep looking up at me, said I know where you ought to be. He said come with me and I’ll give you desire, first you gotta burn burn burn in the fire.
And a little white sheep looked down at me, Said Heaven is where you ought to be. He said come with me cause I know just what to do..I said F…off! I’ll rather burn in hell with you, you and you!
Dio made his choice, he wanted to go to hell and that’s where he is…unless by some miracle he repented.
