I’m so grateful for the gift of love I received from Papa Roy and Mary Mary. My grandmother’s best friends were always there to support me—dance recitals, sports, graduations, holidays, vacations, etc. I’ll never forget trick or treating at Halloween and getting to see their costumes. Or listing to Pop and Grandma laughing out on the deck while mom helped Mary with dinner. Riding in Pop’s classic car and getting a root beer float! Playing cards and laughing until we cried. Calling Mary and Pop in Hawaii so they could say goodbye to grandma over the phone. Graduating from college and our celebration dinner. Mom living at the house in Puyallup while she got her feet back under her. Pruning roses in the garden. New Year’s Day pork roasts and swimming in the pool in Arizona. So many memories of love and laughter. Thank you for being my version of a grandfather and for always loving my family and me. Give grandma Bea a hug for me Pop!

Mary and family, I met Roy and Mary in late 2012 through mutual friends; Ellen and Ed in Arizona. I fell in love with Roy and Mary the first time I met them. We spent may many times together either on our pontoon boat or playing card games at Ellen and Ed's. .Roy's laugh was infectious and his kind heart made us all feel like we had been friends forever. I am so deeply sorry to hear of his death. He will be forever in my heart. I miss our dear friend and I am very thankful that God brought them into our life. Please accept our deepest sympathies Becky and Ed Lilly Phoenix, Az.
