Dear Editor:

The family of Roland McLellan would like to express their deepest gratitude to the individuals and organizations who provided exceptional support and care to us over the last few weeks.

First, special thanks to Lynn Martin. Her exceptional friendship and guidance were invaluable as we navigated through our loss. Lynn delivered a wonderfully poignant, personal, and funny eulogy that captured Roland's spirit beautifully and brought both tears and laughter to those in attendance. Her words were a true reflection of Roland’s life and the impact he had on all of us.

We are also grateful to Larry Knapp for sharing his memories of Roland during the graveside service. His words added a personal and touching element to the ceremony that will be remembered by our family forever.

Next, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the staff at Hall's Funeral Home. Their careful handling of all the details surrounding Roland’s services was truly commendable. They ensured that everything was conducted with the utmost professionalism and sensitivity, which brought great comfort to our family during this difficult time.

Finally, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to Evelyn Shahan and the Barters Island Community Association. They provided a fantastic luncheon after the service, offering a warm and welcoming space for friends and family to gather, share memories, and support one another.

Thank you all for your kindness and support, and for everyone who played a part in honoring Roland McLellan’s life. Your efforts made a significant difference to our family, and we are deeply grateful.
