Roland,
Where do I begin to express how extremely proud I am of you? You have grown into a strong, determined and responsible young man. You make me very proud. I know that you are prepared for whatever the future brings your way. Your achievements do not go unrecognized. Take time to enjoy your accomplishments and look forward to the wonderful life you have ahead of you. When no one else was there for us, you were the rock your brothers and I needed.
Love Mom
