Sorry to hear of the passing of Roy. My thoughts are with all of you. I regret that I could not be at the service today. Mr. Kent as well as all of your family has been a large and important part of my life. As I reflect on the time I spent with your family my memories of Roy are that of a Man that was devoted to his faith and family. He had a kind and gentle personality and was never to busy to help anybody who was in need. He was truly a good and loving man. My thoughts and prayers are with you. -Glenn
Roy was a great friend and support. He made me feel that he really cared about helping me find a job. I appreciated how he shared his opinions about health products that he discovered. I feel sorrow for your great loss. I am sure he is happy knowing that he fulfilled his mission here on Earth and is continuing his growth and learning in the spirit world. I also appoligize for being unable to attend the cerimony. I was on vacation when the obituary came out.
God bless you all.
Sincerely,
Mark Cheney
