Gina,

To you and the children I am so very sorry for your loss as well as ours.
We have never known anyone like Roy before and it's quite doubtful we ever will again. He was a warm and wonderful person and we were so fortunate to have known him and you.
He was a Great Friend and one we knew we could count on to help no matter what we needed or when. Thank you both for sharing your lives and families with us. If you need us please call.
Your Friends,
The Walters

With my deepest sympathy.
Please take care and God Bless You and your family.

Keep the memories in your heart, they will never fade.
