To the family, I already miss Uncle Roy so much. I can't begin to say how sorry I am for your loss.

I will always remember your visits to Kentucky and the fun we all had. Aunt Hazel is the one who named me when I was born.
I love you and God be with you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
