Sending our love and deepest sympathy!
So sorry for your loss. The memories will be comfort to you.
Lots of memories! Never a boring moment when spending time with Roger. usually either entertaining or scaring me to death>
Great memories of our Alaska adventure!! Rest in peace old friend!!
I hope the warmth of Rogers soul touches all of you.
Our hearts go out to everyone of Rogers family. He was a wonderful cousin that leaves many great memories for me as a youngster.
I was just watching the service and it brought me to tears. You were blessed with him being in your lives and vice-versa. I loved him as I do all of your family. That is enough from me except to note it stirred emotions deep with me. Blessings to you. I know you enjoy a warm loving family unit. If in the future you ever wish, feel free to contact me.
