I've always wondered....who smiled the most...Uncle Fat or Aunt Loretta.
When I think of one of them it's always both of them who pop into my mind...and ALWAYS smiling.
The whole family will miss them....and their smiles.

Dear Roque Family, Your Dad was an amazing man! He was always kind, thoughtful, and welcoming! I often think of how hospitable and warm both of your parents were to me, and how they made me feel like family! There were no strangers in your East Chicago home-only friends and family, and we were all so Blessed to be there with you! May Our Heavenly Father hold all of you in the palm of His hand during this most difficult time. My family and I will hold you in deep, abiding prayer. Truly, Nancy Moss Anglis
