I love the poem you placed in Roy's obituary; especially the third verse... (You left us beautiful memories - Your love is still our guide - And although we cannot see you - You are always at our side.) It is in those memories and in your lives, that Christine and Roy live on. Live their lives well, and every once in a while may you dance without abandon and say, "This one's for you..."
