I am so very saddened by Rodger's death. Your family has been part of our lives ever since we first moved here and we met at a Sutherland Stake Conference. My baby was only a month old and you were expecting yours. You asked me if you could hold mine.
We have been friends and neighbors and part of each other's lives, through Church, business and our children
God Bless, Scoville Family, may the Holy Spirit bless you with comfort.

Dear Mary,
I am so very sorry to hear of the recent loss of your husband, Rodger. Your sweet sisters, Ilene and Lois, have kept me updated on his progress and we all wept as they told me the news. I pray the Lord will bless you and your family as you endure the difficult days ahead. Both Bob and I lost our spouses to cancer about 5 years ago and I certainly know the heartaches of the situation! The Lord does love each of us and I know you will be blessed and comforted by the angels that watch over us! Please know of our love and concern for you and your family. When you get a chance to come to Midway, please give me call. I would love to see you, to visit, and to recall wonderful times from our youth!
From a loving classmate,
Vickie Edwards Taylor Remund

Mary and family,

It was such a great surprise to see you and Rodger at your "Aunt Illa's" (my next door neighbor) a few months ago. I was saddened when Illa told me that Rodger was ill.

You and your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely, Michelene Jex

We loved your visit in March 19th, and lasting memories of Rodger and his love for genealogy. Ronald sends his love and Marilyn and Lorraine and I will attend the funeral on Tuesday. We love you Mary and pray you will find peace in your home and with your children.
