Im very sorry for your lost, and even thought it feels like nothing can take away the pain you are feeling right now, but you'll find so comfort in read what the bible has to say in Revelation21:3,4...there it says that "soon there will be nomore death". And we Know this is true because Titus 1:2 says that '' God can't tell a lie."..please read these scriptues with your own personal copy of the bible.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I am extremely sorry for the loss of your father. Words can't express the void that you must feel. You are a strong man and you have a strong wife - together you will both heal from this tragedy. My thoughts and sympathies are with you and your family. Take care.

Our deepest sympathy to Kathleen, Tony and Tracy, Faith and Lee, Randy and Claudette, Phoebe and Bob, Mary Ann and Gene, Raymond and Gail, nieces and nephews. Roy has been like a brother to me since we met in 1970 at Kellam High School. We survived thru two Maverick roll-over's (his Dad's brand new ford twice) while his dad was waiting at work for Roy to pick him up after the late shift. We were always allowed to use the car as long as Roy picked him up by 1 am. Even after the two roll-overs. Not sure what was worst - the accident or facing his dad the next day. But, his dad always forgave anything we did or anyone else.
And, Roy was the same way. He never held a grudge. And always trusted everyone no matter who they were or what they did. He was one of a kind.
He's not replaceable. He will always be in my heart and my families’ thoughts...
