Ronald, Judy and Jimmy-
I was so very saddened to learn of the loss of your precious Roland. When someone you love dies, it leaves an empty spot in your hearts which could never be filled by any other person. What a wonderful gift we have from god in the gift of memories. When you close your eyes, you can see and remember Roland just as he was when he was healthy and happy. Soon, in a new world of god's making, all pain, suffering and sickness will be gone forever. Until then, I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
