Dear Carol,

Rollie was part of our neighbourhood and we always welcomed his cheerful hello as he walked along our streets delivering mail. Things always felt safe and comfortable when we knew that Rollie would notice a neighbour's mail hadn't been picked up or an unusual situation was brewing. He was a true gentleman and we miss him.

Liebe Carol,
denk Dir ein Bild - weites Meer
ein Segelschiff setzt seine weissen Segel
und gleitet hinaus in die See.
Du siehst wie es kleiner und kleiner wird.
Wo Wasser und Himmel sich treffen, verschwindet es.
Da sagt jemand: "Nun ist es gegangen!"
Ein anderer sagt: "Es kommt!"
Der Tod ist ein Horizont, und ein Horizont ist nichts
anderes als die Grenze unseres Sehens.
Wenn wir um einen Menschen trauern,
freuen sich andere,
die ihn hinter dieser Grenze wiedersehen.
In tiefer Anteilnahme, Dieter mit Familie

When You feel Lonely

When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.

Carol, as a co-worker and Post Office hockey teammate of Rollie's I've had the opportunity to see him handle many situations at work and on the ice with class and calm, he is well respected and very well thought of by us all, he leaves a vacuum that will take a long time to fill. Please accept our deepest condolences, from myself and my wife. Dan and Cheryl Gladwin.
