    Dear Shirley, I was so deeply saddened to hear of Rollie’s passing. He will be greatly missed by family and friends and by all who knew him, and I know how very much he will be missed by you. I often spoke to others about the special couple I knew and the love they shared. I know this is going to be a difficult road, but keep close to your heart the beautiful memories of your wonderful life together, and when times get a little tough, these cherished memories will put a smile on your face. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May you find strength and comfort in each other and in all those who love you, now…and in the days that lie ahead. I so wish I could be there, but always remember Shirley…I am forever with you in my thoughts and in my heart.

    My sincerest sympathy,

    Love Janice xo
