It is with the most heartfelt sympathy that I express my thoughts to the family and friends of Roland. As life takes us in many directions for college, career, work etc, after high school, it is just normal to say that regrettably, I have not seen Roland since our high school graduation. I remember him as a kind, lighthearted and generous young man. I can just visualize the smile upon his face while writing my thoughts. It is difficult think of Roland as gone forever from this planet, so I will just think of him as a friend that has taken a trip with God that I/we one day will see again as we all will take this journey. I am happy and fortunate to have known and been in the presence of this wonderful man. Rest Easy Roland and condolences to the family and friend. God Bless you all!
