Dear Karen, Even though I never met Roman, I knew him through you and your devotion to his care and well being, both physical and spiritual. You are such a beautiful living testimony of what it means to truly love someone. I have learned so much from you and Roman, as together, you are a living gospel message of the words “No greater love than this than to lay down one’s life for a friend”. May Roman now hear from His Savior, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” May his soul rest in peace eternally in the loving arms of God.
