Life brings tears, smiles, and memories. The tears dry, the smile fades, but the memories live on forever.Each time we embrace a memory, we meet again with those we love for the heart never forgets.Though there no words to ease your pain, remember that he is now in heaven, in Gods loving arms where he is now at peace. My prayers and sympathy to the Rollins family.

To the Rollins Family you know my heart is with you. I remember Mr. Rollins doing our entire basement. The ceiling, lights, paneling and flooring. This one man did the job. When it takes company to complete the job. I want you all to remember this. He lives on through you the beautiful family that he and his wife created.

I love you guys

A good man with a heart open to all, always willing to help. Mr.Rollins had a quiet strength about him, he carried a spirit of peace and calm. Big Jim as I sometimes liked to call him was a humble and proud man. His humility endeared him to all those whose path he crossed. He loved taking care of his wife,family and home. Mr Rollins left us with many gifts of love, and peace never to be forgotten. I am sure he met God smiling and hearing: Well done my good and faithful servant! Ma Rollins and the Rollins be at peace! God loves you all!
