Harry and I enjoyed the video this morning. Years ago I caught Rolando singing, Ave Marie in his shop. It was awesome. He could have sang professionally for sure.

Like a ray of sunshine Rolando's cheerful manner touched everyone's heart. He entered the business building, with a wide smile. Good morning, he'd say.
Many of us loved him, especially when he openly talked about his plight with cancer. I became a mother figure while watching his perseverance, fighting breast, lung and liver cancer.
While Taking cancer treatments, he managed to get up and drive to work. It was if he had nine lives.
All that changed Sunday, May 17.
