We are so sorry about your loss, but it is certainly his gain. He will be missed. Always loved to tell you a story. Glad he will be honored at his funeral service by the military and the Red Cross. Will continue to pray for you all in the coming days. Love you!

Roy never missed giving me a call on my birthday and sending a birthday card. Have great memories of him even as a young girl and remember the first time Neva brught him home to meet her family. Roy never complained and was so full of spirit - never again will he be in pain. He will be sadly missed.

My heart goes out for all of you and you are in my prayers. I will continue to pray for you and we are blessed to know that Roy is in heaven with Neva Janel and all those that have gone on before us. We will one day meet again and be with them once more and forever. Thank you Jesus.
