    Mr. Roy, I regret I didn't get to know you better, I am sure I would have found you to be a wonderful person. The little time we did spend together was a joyful one. Thank you so much for your help with my shed. I hope you will find your loved ones once you are in the hands of our Lord Jesus Christ. I know he will take good care of you. I regret your passing with all my heart can hold, but at the same time I know you are in the best of hands to guide you through your journey. If you feel like it, please come see me and lets have a good talk and you can tell me all about experience. You are already deeply missed.
    With all my love and gratitude
    Margaret Nelson.
