To Roy's Family. Ron and I were so sorry to hear that Roy was having heart problems as we got an e-mail prayer request from FBC. What a shock to hear that he had passed away. We are so sorry to hear this. Roy was such a friendly and kind man. He will be missed. We are still in Florida so we won't be there for his funeral. We will be home next week. But know that we will be thinking of you all. We are praying for your comfort at this time.
