To the Murrray Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy on Roger's passing. Although I only knew him for a short time, it was evident that he was a special person. He showed tremendous courage and never lost his sense of humor through a very difficult time.
It was an honor for me to be a part of his care.
Sincerely,
Doreen Thomas

My Uncle Roger was a very loved person and he leaves behind a large group of people whom love him probably more than he knew. I hope that he and my recently passed Grandfather are up in heaven enjoying peace and comfort of being Cancer free.I feel very blessed that he was here in California just a few short months ago. I would have been torn to know that he would of never had the chance to meet my son and see my other two children and us Cali family one last time. There will always be a piece missing in my heart from him passing. I love you always and forever!
