Vivian, I am so sorry to hear about Roland. He was always so good to me and treated me like one of his whenever I was a guest in your home. I know he will be missed by many. But thank God, with his infinite mercy, we shall see him again. I love you all and my prayers are with you. Carol Youngblood Trainor

Mama & I were saddened to hear of your Dads’ death please rest assured that he is in a much better place and in no ill health at all now. You will all see him again one day and he will be just like he was before he became ill. That thought is part of what has kept me going all these years after my own Dads’ death in 1978 and I know that the next time I see him will be in Heaven, well and young with no gray hair or sickness. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
So sorry to hear about Roland.

Audrey and Family,
Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you guys.
