Not sure what to say?

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to Roger's immediate and extended family members as well as his friends. Just today I read the sad news. Reading of his love of hunting and fishing reminded me of the good old days when I would stay over at the Gratton's house. Michelle's "older brother" loved to tease us. The whole crew which included mostly uncles & cousins, would gather in the early morning hours at Roger's house before heading out on their hunting expeditions. Everyone...

Mema, Pepa, Taunte Jojo & David, Taunte Michelle, Derek & Jacob:

I love you all. I hope to provide the comfort and peace that you've all so greatly provided for Corey and I during this time. I love you and please know that now Dad (Roger) will be with us always. The memories will stay with us forever, all the hurt will subside, and the love for him and from him will be eternal.

I Love you all,
Jessica Marie

Ernest, Helen, Joanne and Michelle & Families,

Please accept our deepest sympathies and know your in our thoughts. Take Care

Uncle Ernest, Taunte Helen, and family,

Although I never really knew Roger, I've heard the fond stories that Mom, Aunt Debbie, and Nana always shared of life for him on the farm. I know things haven't been easy, but I have to believe that he is at peace and is looking down on all of us remembering these same memories. I hope we can all take peace in that.

Please accept our deepest sympathies.

I remember the little skinny boy who always stuck up for me when I was in trouble..the one who I spent many hours in the barn with helping him with chores..the many things he taught me even though he was younger..I just saw him weeks ago and will remember the last hug and kiss he gave me for the rest of my life...know you are all in my prayers and thoughts..and Roger, I can only hope you are in a peaceful place now...I love you.......Debbie
