As we bid Rolland farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his wife Arletta Mae Chamberlain Derby; and his daughters, Susan, Lynne and Julie.
