Roy and Sandy were such nice people. My father was Pastor at Dupont Street Church of God when I met them. They both were pleasant and kind, and I have fond memories of both of them. In fact, Sandy once attended to a young man that had an injury from a motorcycle accident in our church parking lot. I remember it vividly and she did so in such a calm manner. My condolences to your family as you go through this difficult time.

Thank you to those giving condolences. Jeff and I are going through this very difficult time and your prayers are greatly appreciated. My father in law was a very special person in my life. He accepted me from day one and in this past year i spent alot of time getting to know him better. I'm so happy that we developed an excellent bond this year and that I got to tell him how much we loved him every time we left him. Jeff's grief is immeasurable. Its been extremely difficult losing both...
