My dear cousin Roland, a loveable chap. I still cannot believe you're gone, I miss you so much already dear cous. You look so peaceful in your casket like you are just having a nap. I love you like a brother 💙💙💙💙 we all grew up together playing cars in the sand at kokums, playing red rover in the yard, hide and seek and swimming all day at the point. Connie would look after all us kids. She would have soup and bannock made for all of us. She took excellent care of us. The memories are all we have now. I will think of you fondly always. When you and the boys started playing lacrosse, I was awestruck with the amazing stick skills you had!! Watching the games was always something I looked forward to. I was so proud of all of you. You, Trev and Bruns were amazing to watch. We would always hug each other when we would see one another. I will miss that nice big hug you always gave me and you in your Beatles sweater. I am so blessed to come from such a loving family where we are not afraid to show love. I will love you always Roll. You are a shining star. You were gifted in all you did. A lacrosse champion, a fire fighter and an amazing loveable chap who we are all going to miss big time. You and the fam are reunited in the spirit world, how beautiful that must be💙💙💙💙💙#5 Heya Heya Xoxo 🥍🥍🥍🥍🥍 - Posted by: Ness (Cousin) on: Feb 16, 2024
