I am at a loss for words!! Royce was a very good and special man. He has been one of my best friends for about 15 years or more. He was very special to me!! I will miss him dearly!! He would call me all the time and talk about his wife, my friend, Tish and how much he loved and missed her. He is no longer in pain. I will forever love and miss my friend!! With a heavy heart I pray for your family. With love: Dorothy (Dot) Beaver
