For the past 11 months Roland was in the care of three wonderful ladies that loved him dearly; Maxine, Diamond and Sherry, the family, is so grateful for all their undivided attention for his well being.  The family also would like to acknowledge the Brookdale Hospice Team for their excellent care.  Without Tasha, Tammy, Kim and numerous other members of the team my Daddy's last days on this earth would have been so stressful for both him and the family.  Last, but certainly not least the family would like to thank the entire Brookdale Memorial City team members.  So many early morning and late nights they came to our rescue to assist us in our time of need.  There are too many "Brookdale Angels" to list, however, we are eternally grateful and feel so very fortunate to be residents of Brookdale Memorial City.

In lieu of flowers a donation to Texas Children's Hospital would be appreciated.
