I am so shocked and sadden about Roy's passing. I spoke with him 2 weeks ago, when I traveled to NY would check in when I returned. Roy and I have checked in daily since Nancy's passing and now he is in his Lord Jesus presence who will be much better in his care! You are healed my friend and near Nancy now. My prayers continue for the family. , Sandi Edkins
