I was so sad to find of Roland's passing.  He was always so kind.  I will always remember the week I visited Roland and Lolo in New York and when we visited in Tarpon Springs.  I pray that Lolo is doing well and hope to connect soon.

Dear Delores,
I hope you can remember me from the print shop in Sidney, but I certainly do fondly remember both you and Roland! I'm so sad to learn of his passing. I enjoyed every moment spent with you both, either working on copies or viewing pictures of your latest travel adventures. Roland was always so kind and interesting and you have my deepest sympathies during this difficult time in your life. I will hold his memory dearly.

I was so sorry to hear of Roland's passing. You both had a wonderful life together. You have so many memories to fall back on, to get you through these rough days ahead. His pain is finally gone, and he is in peace with God.

Sincere sympathy on the passing of Roland.  We only knew him a few short years and wished we had known him earlier.  We will remember him with fondness as he was
such a gentle man.  We remember Dolores at this time of sadness in our thoughts
and prayers.
Aleta and Jeff
