Thank You  - Dear Roanoke church family, Words cannot express how much you all mean to us. We have been gone nearly 14 years and yet you continue to pour out your love on us. Thank you to each one who prayed for us and supported us by working at the funeral meal or contributing food. We love you. No matter where God takes us on this earth, Roanoke Apostolic Christian Church will always be home. Thank you again and God bless you all. Ed & Boni Stoller
