To Bunny and the Ancona family. Our hearts were overwhelmed with grief upon hearing of the passing of Roy Senior. We know that we are all destined to depart this earthly life. It seems as if mentally we are never ready. The most important part of life on this side of heaven is those precious times we get to share with family and friends. We thank God for the time we got to spend with the Ancona family.
Peace & Love
