A Brief Memorable Encounter ... Years ago when stopping by to visit my Dear Nephew it was a pleasure to find he already had visitors one of whom was Rollo. They were all sharing Fellowship, Fun and Laughter which turned into A Great Joy for me when Out Of The Blue Rollo spoke out, "In all my reading and searching in the Bible, I have reached the conclusion that I can not ever die." As HOLY SPIRIT Confirmed Within My Heart I heard in other words Rollo's Got JESUS! I quickly grabbed up his words and Gathered them into My Hearts Treasury as GOD'S Word advises Us for JESUS Safe Keeping. Even though the time was brief it gave me a glimpse to see right through within Rollo's Heart and Soul Eternal. Thank You GOD for always surrounding Us in YOUR Love and for giving unto Us Eyes to See and Ears to Hear as One Heart.

Rollo and I have been together 5 1/2 years and I was by his side till he got his wings and became an Angel. My heart is broken that he is not with me any longer but he is in a place without sickness and pain now. Rollo has been an AWESOME grandfather to Chloe, Callie and Carmen. The love between them was so precious and solid. We all miss him terribly but in God's grace we will see him again one day. I love you Rollo with all my heart.

My sincere sympathy to the Rollins family, Craig was a good friend. I loved his smile and he loved my daddy, Pastor Jim Breeden, and my daddy loved him, the last time we spoke it was after my daddy died and Craig was so broken hearted not to have known. Craig so full of life and joy and will be missed..Go Rest High on that Mountain!

I worked with Craig at the Acworth gas company office. I have MANY good memories and smiles about those good ol' days working with Craig, Lenny, Larry Horton and Mickey Collier. Craig was a good man to work with and his wit, humor and tall tales kept us all laughing. I am sad that he is gone. My condolences to you, his family. Mike McDaniel, Kennesaw, Ga.
