My kids & I were so blessed to have been added to Carolea & Roy's family, by choice. Roy was a wonderful, caring man that I will do my best to help me children remember Roy. They enjoyed spending time with Roy, talking & learning, so many things. Roy loved his family, so much and enjoyed all the time he had with them. He was so proud of his family. Our deepest sympathy & condolences to all of Roy's family. Thank you all for sharing Roy with my family!

Cousin Carolea and family. It is with deep sadness that I here add my condolences. Fourty-five years together sounds long but not nearly enough. In the years to come there will be empty spaces that seem to be where Roy should be. Perhaps this knowing will bring fond memories to warm your heart and comfort your longing soul. It is good to have sweet memories of those who walked beside us. Go softly, my friend. Cousin Cathy
