Dear Roger & Family
Your Dad was very much a delightful and "gentle man"! While his loss brings grief and sorrow the 'gifts' left in you and your family will have a greater significance and immediate meaning.

We were blessed to have Ray Forden among us at KUMC. Our sincerest condolences to Roger and Carol, Thelma, and the rest of the family. You know you can call upon your church family if you have any needs.
Roger, I will never forget the kindness you showed my family by your visitation when both of my parents passed on. It was comforting and left an indelible impression on us.
