To Melanie and the entire Benson family, I would like to express my complete condolences on your loss. Roger was a good man, he always had that big smile on his face and never seemed to have a bad day. One word to describe Roger, and there are many, is class. He will definitely be missed.

Someone as special as Roger will never be forgotten. He will remain in our hearts forever. The kind and gentle person he was, I'm sure the one who made him, realized how special he was, to be left in this cruel world. He belongs to a place that is kind, a place away from all the hassles of the world. May his spirit find peace and heavenly bliss.
