We love you, Uncle Roy. We can only imagine the wonderful reunion you had on 04/10/2015, with your parents, other family members, and with Daddy, your best friend. You will be missed. Thank you for being a wonderful Santa Claus for many years to our young son.
Ann and I are so sorry that this time has come. We pray to God for your comfort and solace and that pleasant, loving memories will sustain you.
Warm regards and kind sympathy,
Reese & Ann
To one of my best and beloved uncles. I will always remember your smiling face, your laugh, your generosity. Thank you for the many Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners at your house. But most importantly thank you for just being you and for being my uncle. I will always and forever love you. Say Hi to Nanny, Granddaddy and my father
You accepted me as your niece even though I was adopted into the family. You asked for my forgiveness when you had done wrong and I gladly gave you that peace. I admire you more than you will ever know. Our bond was created when I was just a small child and for whatever reason continued until the day you went to heaven. I am sure you are making everyone laugh up there in heaven. I love you Uncle Roy
