He did what he did, the way he wanted to do it his whole adult life and continued even in death...that was the Roy we all knew. So let his legacy live by doing what he wanted you to do after he left....live your lives, be happy, do what it takes to keep you happy. Love you Jackie xo and hugs to you kids and the rest of the family. Take good care of your Ma now!
