Lorna and family. So sorry to hear of Roger's passing. Mom told me about it. I have MANY fond memories of Roger and the rest of you as well, memories I will not forget. I remember Roger would visit and I would basically hide but he wouldn't leave till he saw me. Then I started coming to church and getting involved. Softball. CDYC. Plays. Christmas caroling. Great memories. You guys have a special place in my heart.

Lorna,
It is with deep sorrow to learn of Roger's passing. He was a good friend in high school and when I was in Lake Odessa. He followed me down the aisle during graduation in 1952 from LOHS.
Please be strong. I know how you feel after I lost Nina in August.
Sincere Condolences.
