God bless you cousin! I'm so sorry that we didn't find you all and see you all before you passed on. Wished I could tell you, Aunt Pauline, Chrissie, Lloyd, Earl Jr III, and Sammy that your Wheeler family love and miss you all more than you know. We haven't given up on our search for you all and are very heartbroken that those of you that we have finally found are no longer here.

We knew Roland for two years from baker street and he was a very special person. He would always come to our apartment and hang out or talk or trade and sell things with us. We knew his heart he was such a wonderful and special gift to the earth. I was blessed to receive guitars from him and a watch i stil wear, which now will hold even more meaning. We were very saddened to hear of the loss of this young man. We pray ALL his family and friends will find comfort in the life he lived and the legacy of kindness he has left us all!
