    Roel was a loving person. He didn’t have a single judgemental bone in his body. I will always remember his smile and the laughs we had as kids and teenagers.
    I will miss my childhood friend. His mom treated me like one of her kids and my mom treated him like one of hers. I wish I could have taken his pain away. I’m sure he’ll be in heaven with Bobby and Letty. I love you, my friend. I will see you again.
