Roland enjoyed hunting, boating, fishing, camping, golfing, and dancing with his love anywhere, even the back patio or den. They loved to travel but couldn’t wait to get home. He loved spending time with his kids, grandkids and great grandkids. Roland enjoyed watching his Dallas Cowboys, and classic westerns and loved to barbecue with a beer in his hand.

It is always appropriate, and often times recommended, sending flowers or plants to the family after the funeral services are over. During this period, phone calls and words of comfort taper off. Then, the heartfelt pain of a death in the family is really experienced for the first time. The arrival of a beautiful bouquet or living plant can be so uplifting during this stage of grief and loneliness. Realizing that others still care and remember even weeks after the services can be great comfort to those in mourning. |
