There are no words I feel that I can say to heal your heart. Just know that he was welcomed into his next journey with very open and loving arms .. Roland truly had a one of a kind sense of humor, but that is what made him stand out.. Just remember both of your guys are with you as you though this time of greif, with each ray of sunshine and with each gentle breeze, that is them reminding you that everything will be ok.
