You often helped us with yard work, which was greatly appreciated. Roy took you out teaching you to drive so you could get your license. I often took you to and from your jobs before you got your license. I was always impressed how punctual you were and we would always leave extra early as you wanted to be at work before you had to be. After you moved out on your own, you would come see us and tell us how you were doing. We had some good talks and we rejoice in the fact that you told us that you had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We look forward to seeing you again in eternity. We will greatly miss you. You always said we were like grandparents to you. We love you and are praying for your family at this time of sorrow. We will all be together again one day.
