Dear Aunt Gemma and everyone,
It's times like this that I wish we lived closer. My heart aches for all of you. Uncle Roland was very special and as I write this I can hear his wonderful laugh. We have so many wonderful memories of all of you and all of us for so many Christmases. Please know that you are in our prayers and we are with all of you in spirit. I always saw you two as a "Holy Couple" filled with the Holy Spirit. Thank you for that example. Our hearts are with you in Christ, George & Bev
