My family and I would like to thank everyone for their sincere expressions of sympathy during the time of our loss. We find healing in God's tender loving and embrace, and in knowing that others remembered and cared. To my family: If I had a 1000 tongues, I couldn't thank you enough for all of your support and help during this time. Roland, we love you!!!
