Roger, it's been over a month now and it still doesn't seem real. I miss you so much and mom does too. I never thought you would leave us so soon. You're the best step dad I could have asked for. We may have butted heads a time or two, but lets be honest, who DIDN'T you butt heads with? I'll miss you so much Roger. RIP and take care of Leo up there for me. I love you!
