Isaac Jermaine Roland

There are three steps to Heaven: (1) out of self; (2) into Christ; (3) into Glory. Isaac (Jermaine) Roland took these first two steps early in his life. He has now taken the third step, where there is no more weeping, no pain, no sorrow, no disappointment. What rejoicing there must have been in Heaven on Friday, January 27, 2023, when Isaac (Jermaine) Roland made his transition from his earthly home to eternal rest.
Isaac (Jermaine) Roland was born on February 3, 1978, in Anchorage, Alaska, to proud parents Sandra and James E. Roland. At the early age of six, he moved to West Monroe, Louisiana.
