IIIRoy’s story

Roy was protective, loving and caring, a family person. He loved flowers and gardening.

He was generous and had many friends, and he loved helping others. At Christmas he would go and do special things for the residents of the retirement home where his wife worked.

“I wish I could give him one more hug and tell him how much I love and miss him”

Roy’s wife, on what she misses

She misses the sound of his voice and his laugh.

She asked for a tender, peaceful country song about how much he meant to her, and how much she loves and misses him.

“I love the song,” she says. “I am so happy to have this to share with my children.”
