Nancy and Roe family...
I've lost 2 Dads instead of one, I grew up at your house, when you got in trouble so did I!!! I'll miss my hugs and having the coffee ready for him camping. He's no longer in pain and that will give you all comfort. Take care of each other now and know that I am here if any of you need anything. Annmarie

My heart aches for the entire Roe Family. I know you all feel the loss of a great man. I also know, in his final days, he found comfort in the love of his family. I pray that you all can find some comfort in knowing you sent him home with dignity and he is now at peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and I pray for healing in your time of need.
