Mr. ConRad,
I read this once....

"Not until the loom is silent
and the shuttles cease to fly,
will God unroll the pattern
and explain the reason why
the dark threads are as needful
in the weaver’s skillful hand
as the threads of gold and silver
for the pattern which is planned".

May you find solace in cherished moments.
Love,

Sheila Erickson

To My Family,

I'm sorry I'm not able to be with you today to celebrate Uncle Rolands life and send off, but you are in my heart and mind.

I'm really going to miss Uncle Roland. As I write this I can hear his laugh and crazy jokes. :>) Though it hurts to let him go physically, I am happy that he's not in any pain and is in a better place. We are always going to have the memories, pictures, laughs, talks, dance, etc. He was a great, great uncle!! I couldn't have asked for a better one.

Terri, you know who you are in Christ and your dad. Everything is going to be fine. Trust it. Wow, we have alot of angels looking over us!

Love you all

My heart, love and prayers go out to Aunt Theresa and family. Uncle Roland my fondest memories are of you at Grandmother Wilda's house dancing and playing jokes on me. Your imitations and pantomines of Redd Foxx were unforgetable! I will always love you and miss you. You are now at rest finally.
