How you can help

On Friday February 21,2025 the Earth said goodbye to a very special man as he was transported in heavens limousine and delivered unto our Father Jesus Christ.Rollie had been battling end stage renal Failure and his body finally gave out.
Rollie was known by many as 'The Rose guy' or 'The flower guy's he could be found on one of several known corners selling his Roses with a beautiful personally hand crafted bow attached.He had many faithful customers that often returned on a regular basis to purchase another one of his beautiful creations
Rollie loved the outdoors and nature.He purchased a motorhome for him and his very much loved significant other of almost 11 years,Lisa to reside in which they did until they both encountered health issues preventing them from being able to keep up with the maintenance required to continue living the R.V. life.For the last couple years the couple has resided in Selah.
They had a very special one of a kind and extremely deep love for each other and rarely spent any time apart.
Unfortunately,they had discussed the affordability of life insurance,but living on a very limited fixed income,it just was not attainable.
As you can probably imagine,Lisa is so completely lost right now.Its as though half of herself is missing.She would love to give this man who showered her with love and gave her a safe feeling of security,taking care of her in every way that he possibly could,a proper burial.
This fund was created because she is starting with $0 in hopes that the many many people that knew Rollie throughout his life as well as the ones who knew him as The Rose guy might be able to help with the funds it will take to lay him to rest properly like he very much deserves.No donation is too small and 100% of the donations will be used for Rollie.
Thank you for helping ensure that Rollie gets a proper burial and bringing that peace for Lisa's aching heart.
