Dear Evelyn and Family: how sad we were to hear that Roger has gone. He seemed to have a quietness about him, but strength to us, tho we didn't know him well. A gentle giant. And you, too, are strong, Evelyn, and one day I hope you can explain to me the bout (I'm assuming he had with a tooth). My brother also had tooth/heart problems. Love to you and your family.

Aunt Evelyn,
Although we are still in shock, I can't help but smile when I think of Uncle Roger's smiling face, like he was always happy to see us. I always loved coming to your house to play with all of your 'babies' and you both made me feel welcome and loved. I feel so fortunate to have grown up with the circle of our entire family loving us and protecting us in all of our endevors. You and Uncle Roger were always out there playing with all of the cousins at the farm and at the lake. Thanks to you both for the love and encouragement all of these years.
Love,Kathleen

Evelyn, Jeff, Brenda, Joanne, & Amy - I have so many great memories of "Mr. Isnogle" from growing up. We had a wonderful childhood, in no small measure because of the great parents in our little community. Roger will be missed by all who had the great good fortune to have known him. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
