I can’t believe you were taken from us so soon papa. It feels good to know that you are no longer suffering and finally at peace. You’re with some family and pets, which I couldn’t be more happy about because you’re not alone up there. Thank you for being one of the best grandparents I've ever had. You took care of every single one of us. You were truly one in a million♥

Donna, Anna, Beth, and David. So sorry to hear this news. Rowland was a lovely gentleman, devoted family man and patient girl scout dad. He left a positive mark on this world. Love from Mary, Bill, and Lauren.
