Roger graduated from Highland Springs High School with me in 1956. We both ended up married to first cousins! Have had intermittent contact with him through the years. Sorry to see him go to join so many more of our classmates including my husband. My heartfelt condolences to all his family.

To all the Lilly's from a brother of a different mother, there are so many things to say, and yet at the moment have not a clue as how to say them. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you, if there's anything I can do, don't hesitate to call. With Love, Carlos & Dawn Edgcombe Don't forget goodbye is for now, life is short, but heaven is forever.
