My Wonderful Loving and Caring Parents we miss you so very much. Beth and I we see lots of signs that you are always around our whole family. Mom sends us white feathers, and Dad shows up as Hummingbirds. Katie, Macyn (your beautiful great granddaughter) and I routinely visit your graves at the beautiful RI Veterans Cemetery, which always concludes with us getting breakfast. Dave Pombo is here husband and is a very nice young man who is working towards becoming a Sergeant in the RI National Guard. Stephanie, Ava and Aria, (your two other beautiful great granddaughters) along with her husband Matt, Jennifer, Joe and Colby (your two handsome grandsons, Joey who was born on 10-23-08, a year after Dad passed) and Adam who is Jennifer's fiance has a son named Lincoln. Benjamin (along with his son Luca is keeping the Lamarre name going, Luca is another handsome great grandson along with his two step daughters Britlyn and Brielle your step grandchildren.) We all miss you so very much and you would be proud of all of their accomplishments as Beth and I are, that they have made in their lives. Please watch over all of them and especially during these troubled times happening in the global environment. We are especially concerned with Ben who is a Sergeant in the RI National Guard, just re-enlisted for another six years this week. We are thankful to him for his service to his country but wish he would stay safe from harm. I also need to tell you that Beth has been a blessing to our whole family, keeping everyone together and updated during my battle with cancer. She was instrumental in keeping my appointments and taking my medications on a routinely basis. Without Beth i would not have made it this far. Last and least is thank you for watching over me as I have gone through radiation and chemo these past few months. We all miss you deeply and know you are around us on a daily basis...Love you!!!...Roger/Rusty/Hizee and now I also go by Riggs, Papa and Grandpa...LOL

Every year as Joeys birthday comes near I am flooded with memories of you and Stella. The family has grown changed and gotten bigger since you´ve been gone. I know you and Stella have been watching over us all and seen that you´re great grandchildren are smart strong and well loved. (I´m sure Stella especially loves the big cheeks they all have!!I feel that the first one - Joey - born on your one year anniversary was sent from heaven with help from you and Stella. And the newest addition of Luca has the great honor of carrying on the Lamarre family name. Every single one of your great grandchildren have brought us all tremendous joy and love. We share stories and pictures so they all know how much you meant to us and to keep you alive in our hearts. Please keep watching over us all. Give us strength, peace and hope, remind us always that you are near and sending love and know that you are missed and loved always

Oh where do I begin! I'll start by saying I miss you guys so much and wish you were still here to see all the changes in the family (good changes) that are happening! Actually I'm pretty sure you guys are the ones making it happen and watching over us all! I live in Hawaii and fell inlove with an amazing man which you guys would have loved and I tell him all the time I wish he got the chance to see how amazing you guys were as well! I miss everyone like crazy I thank you for helping me get through it tho...I know if you weren't watching over me I wouldn't have been able to do it! I think about you both often and can't wait to visit on Christmas so I can come by your graves and bring a poinsettia (hahah) me and dad weren't too smart about that but it's still funny and we will still bring one just for the laugh! Please continue to watch over everyone back home, I hate that I can't be with them right now but soon enough I will be! I miss you guys more then ever and you'll always have a piece of my heart forever! Xoxo

Good Morning Dad,
I cannot believe that it has been 6 years that you have been gone. So much has happened...wish you were still here with me...I wish that you could have been there last night to see the Red Sox (your beloved baseball team) win the first game of the World Series but I assume you had the best seat in the house!!!!! Fred wanted to let you know that he stayed up and watched the entire game and was thinking of you!!! Please give my love to mom and know that you both are forever in my heart!! Love you both and miss you so much....Your Loving Daughter!!!!
October 23, 2013
Hey Day on your 6th Anniversary of your passing. The Red Sox are back in the World Series and I know that you are watching with me by my side. I miss you so very much and want to say that you were a special role model to me. I will always remember the talks that we had and the special times that we shared together. Today is also your Great Grandson's 5th Birthday. I know that you have been enjoying the Grandkids from Heaven and they all have come to visit you and Mom at the graves. I love and miss you both so very much...Love Roger Jr.

Hi Dad,
Yesterday was your 5th anniversary of your passing and the 4th Birthday of your great grandson Joey. We all miss you and mom very much and we went to Roland last night and you came through. You were a great father and role model for me and will always remember you that way. Please look over all of us and keep a close watch over all of the children that are now a part of our every growing family. Love your son....Roger Jr.

Hi Dad,
Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you on your Birthday today. Not that I do not think about you often....as I most certainly do. I miss you and Mom so much. Hope that you and Mark can hook up again as I know that you and him were close. I am still trying to make it work in this life and will keep on trying to make you proud of me. It has been difficult but the difficult things in life seem to make you stronger...it has too cause there is no way that I will choose failure as an option. So don't give up on me and always watch over my family when I am not around to watch them myself. I enjoy being around my family so very much and worry for their safety all the time. We shall be down to visit you guys again in the next few weeks and always remember that you are still in our thoughts. Love you and miss you and Mom dearly...Love your Son...Roger

Hi Mom & Dad,
I know it has been a long time since I wrote you last. But it has been a difficult time since your passing. I miss talking to you guys personally and getting wisdom from your words. I miss seeing you daily and hugging and kissing you guys. There have been additions to the family that I know you love. Joey, Ava, and soon to be another. I wish that you could have met them in person but know that you love them from Heaven. Please watch out over all of them and provide me the guidance to get where I need to be in this life. We will be down to visit soon and we will bring the great grand kids too. Your Loving Son...Roger

Hello Dad,
I miss you both so very much. Not a day goes by that I do not think about you and mom. You did leave us with a lot of great memories. Things have been tough lately and remembering how we used to talk about things is what I miss. You always had some very good advice and I miss your guidance. A lot of good things have happened too...Ben got on the Dean's list at New England Institute of Technology and has started a landscaping business. Jen is doing fine working two jobs and supporting herself and your Great Grandson...how I wish you could meet him...although I know you have seen him where you both are now...Stephanie is going to be celebrating her 1 year anniversary with Matt and Caitlyn is working full time now and deciding to go back to school. They all miss you and mom so very much...you definitely made an impression on all of your Grandkids. Thank you for showing me how to be a good husband, farther and person. I miss you and love you so very much...Love Your Son Roger

Hello Pops,
Not a day goes by that I do not think of you or look at your picture. I certainly miss watching the Red Sox in person with you and now the Patriots in pres-season. Although I know that you are there with me spiritually...it is tough to get use too. I just also wrote to Mom...forgot to thank you both for watching over me while I was in the hospital a few weeks ago with pneumonia. I am feeling much better. Dad, I miss you...Love your son Roger...

Uncle Roger & Auntie Stella:
I miss you both so very much and always will until we see each other again. It is so hard to believe that you are not here with us on Earth physically,though you always will be in spirit and will always have a special place in my heart and I will never forget all of the beautiful memories that I have of you both. I am so glad that you are together again, sharing a beautiful, pain-free, and eternally happy life together in Heaven. Stephen sends his love to you and appreciates all of the prayers that you have said for him and I in the past and hopes that you are still praying for him. I love you both very much and wish you a very beautiful "First Christmas" in Heaven together, though all of us down here, I am sure, wish that you were still celebrating with us. I look forward to the day when we will all be celebrating Christmas together again and every day will be a celebration.
Merry Christmas Auntie Stella and Uncle Roger! We love you and miss you always, until we meet again.
Love always,
Donna and Stephen

Dear Mom and Dad:
I miss you both more than words can say. Not a day goes by where you both are in my thoughts. My world is so different now that you are both not here to share in it. Life is so sad and it is hard to carry on. I try to do my best but
you and dad were my best friends as well as my parents and I miss you both soo much. I still pick up the phone sometimes to share some good news or something funny I had just seen on TV and then I remember that no one is there. I know that I must be strong but I find somedays are tougher then ever. Please take care of us from heaven and watch over all of us. I pray for both of you all the time and look forward to the day when we will all be together. I will try to be strong but it will never be the same. My heart is empty without you both here. I love you both so much and remembering the great times we all shared as a family gets me through the day. God Bless and Rest in Peace my dear beautiful parents. I miss you both, Love your daughter, Gail

Dear Uncle Roger,
Thank you for being such a wonderful part of my life. I was so lucky that God had chosen you to be my uncle. How blessed we are and what an honor it has been to know you. Your kindness, your love, and caring ways taught me so much during my childhood and I thank you from my heart dear uncle Roger. When I think of you, I will remember the way you would laugh at my stories and all my Sunday's with you and Auntie Stella. The tiny pancakes you made for me on Sunday morning. The outings you took me on and you and Auntie Stella would call Donna and I your twins. I love you both so much. I think of you and smile because I was such a lucky kid to have had you both in my life. I pray that every child in this world could have someone just like you. I am so proud of you. What courage, my hero! I love you with all my heart, forever.
Love, Brenda and Richard Lynch

Hey Grandpa,
Its only been a few days but I already miss you so much. I know I've made some bad choices over the years but no matter what kind of trouble I got into you were always there for me. I will always remember being a little kid. You did everything and anything I wanted to do with me. You and Grandma gave me so many good memories I will never forget. Like going fishing of the rocks at Rocky Point,and taking me to my first Live Red Soxs game Well gramp Im sure you are giving them a little help right now but we just took game 2 I think we Gotta it this year. I love you and miss you but I'm glad your at peace and with Grandma. I know you missed her so much I love you both.

Your life was such an inspiration to all that had the pleasure of knowing you. Your positive outlook on life and your guidance is so apparent though-out your entire family. The void of your loss cannot be filled however your memory, influence and smile will last forever. You live forever in our hearts. Now you are with Stella and together can watch over your family. My heart goes out to Gail, Roger and their families.

Dear Gail and Roger,
Just a note to let you know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your respective famlies during this time of sorrow. Your father was a great uncle and Godfather to me. I remember him always being calm and caring. I have many fond memories of him and your mom from when I was a young child growing up to the present. You know your dad is in a better place now and is no longer suffering. He is at peace and is with your mom. May your long loving memories help you through this difficult time.
Love, your cousin,
Raymond

Dad...it has only been a day since you left. Yet I miss you tremendously. You showed all of us what it means to be a fighter. You did not accept defeat with your cancer and continued to love us and our families even though you faced the never ending pain everyday...you never displayed your pain publicly...and only displayed your tenacity regarding your will to live. You taught Gail and I well in what it takes to be a good parent, and you showed me how to be a good man and father to my wife and my children. For this I will forever remember you and thank you. I will miss our times watching the Patriots and Red Sox together but I know that you will be with me if not in body...in spirit and in my mind. I hope that your first day in Heaven was not too busy as you needed some rest, as the journey to get there was not easy. You and Mom are now our special angels that will guide us and take care of us for the rest of our lives, until it is time for us to see each other again. Dad, we will never forget you and the special moments we shared together as a family. You were a great Dad and role model for all of us. Please rest in peace as you earned your place. Thanks for having faith in me and for being as proud as you were of me. Love always…your Son Roger Jr.
