My memories of Uncle Roy are plentiful but I remember most a man that was more giving and expecting of himself than others. Roy is in a better place, a place we all hope to get too. Love from the Federico-Connor Family.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I am just sitting this morning and thinking about Uncle Roy, one of the many Litaker Boys in the family. Roy was of a very quiet nature and a deep thinker, very neat and well dressed with a sincere smile every time you saw him. I remember those days in the country of horseback riding, cookouts and family getting together just to enjoy each other's company. Life was simpler then and those memories of growing up will always be near and dear. Uncle Roy has ran that great race and he is now sitting where all greatness will at some time take place for all of us because that is a call that we will all have to answer. I can visualize him reminiscing with all of the others that have gone on and that joyful reunion that is taking place right now. Aunt Daisy and Joseph, keep his legacy alive and we that are still here with you will continue to keep you lifted up in prayer as you continue your walk and just know that Uncle Roy is still smiling because he is now walking in his new eternal life. May God Bless you both and comfort you in this difficult hour. Love, Ramona Kay Meehan
