Marion, We were so sorry to hear about Roy. I am sorry it took me so long to do this. Keeping the kids I don't get on the computer much. I know you are lost without him. I can't imagine how you must feel. Just know that the music Roy and my dad are playing now is the most glorious music you can imagine. I would love to hear the stories they are telling each other. My dad always had a special place in his heart for you guys. I will be praying for you and your family.
