Roy was a close friend to me at one time. Most of my memories of him were pleasant and smile-worthy. He was full of life, and a loyal and devoted friend. Although I am extremely sad to see him go so soon from our lives, I take comfort in the fact that he is suffering no more and that he will live with us in our hearts and our memories forever.

I didn't know Roy very well but we had a few classes together in high school. He was truly a hilarious guy who brought joy and laughter to everyone around him. When I heard he was missing it broke my heart and I thought of him often. I will continue to think of him and his family through this tragic time. Roy will live on through those who knew and loved him.

No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say goodbye, you were
gone before we knew it, and only
God knows why.
The Bible says "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted." We pray that God will bless you and give you the strength to get through this very difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers will be with you.
In Faith & Sympathy, Jim & Sue Creevey
