Maureen and family,
My sincere condolences on the loss of your dad. My best memories of him are of his sense of humor when we were kids. He always had something funny to say at the dinner table. A man of few words, he made his words count. I hope you all find comfort in the memories you hold in your heart. Love, Dee

My deepest condolences to the Rondeau family. Roland will be dearly missed. One of my fondest memories of Roland was how he would boldly sing the fifth verse in The 12 Days of Christmas when we visited with his family on Christmas Eve.
