To Beloved Brother Roy,
You will be missed more than you could ever imagine. I only wish that I could have been at your side as our precious Savior called you to Heaven. You will make your mark there just as you have all of your life.

Save a place for Mabeth and me next to you at the family table. Dick and Mabeth
