Auntie Mary, Roland Jr., Pam, Zenobia, Monique, Jason, and Shantrese, words will never express how I feel and I cannot imagine how you are feeling or what your are going through; but in your time of sorrow I can only pray. I will also remember all of the fun times and the childhood memories (especially the fishing trips) those will never be loss. In your quiet times, dwell on those memories to get you through the tough times. Anyway, that's what I plan to do. I love you guys and I will miss my uncle with his special smile that made you smile back. Uncle Roland's had a big heart and his love for you will always remain. God bless you all.

To the Roussell Family:
I extend my deepest condolences to the family. It was a pleasure having Mr. Roussell as a patient (at Dr Siegel's office). He was always soft spoken and had a kind smile; now he's smiling on all of you from Heaven.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
