To Joy and Family,
May the love and the memories of your father and brother give you comfort. Roland went to the garden alone while the dew was still on the roses. Just a bud he was. We know not the time nor the hour when God will call us home. Be at peace knowing that he is with Our Father which art in Heaven.

Love your Sister, Althea

Althea, we are so sorry to hear of your brothers passing. Keep your faith and know that God had a reason for calling him home and you will see him later. He knew and accepted Christ so he will help make a place for you and greet you when God calls you home. Peace and Love in this time of earthly sorrow, Beverly and William Jenkins
