" Roland was the sweetest cousin. A man of very little words, but always had a smile on his face. I sit here and think of the times I use to pick him up when walking on 801 to the Farmington store.. I laugh because he always called me Tricia, which was my sister Patricia. But when he got out of the Car he would call me Vickie. I knew all alone he knew who I was. I would pick him up about the same time every morning. He will truly be missed. To the entire Cain family you are in our prayers. We Love you all. May God give you strength to make it thru this journey. Louis & Vickie Parks Longsworth "
