I could not have had a better father than Roy Shehane. He was always there for me whether I was good or not so good. The memories I have of him will bring smiles and laughter for me when I am low. His love was unconditional. I am grateful that he did not suffer at the end of his amazing life and that he will spend his eternity with mom.
