My dear precious friend,
I know that this must one of the most difficult things that you have faced in your life but please be assured that God is your strength. He is a strong and mighty tower that you can run into. He is your hope and peace! I'm sure that you must feel that you will never make it through this hard time but you are one strong Christian and you know that Phil. 4:13 is a promise that you can cling too.

I am here for you at any time. I'm as close as a phone call away.

I love you very much!
Diane

Our hearts are so sadden for your loss of Roger. We had been friends for years. I remember Roger as a child and his growing -up years. When he rode his horse by my house, he never failed to come into the yard to talk to me if he seen me out.Roger, was always a very dear friend to my children as they grew-up together.
Now, he is with his DAD, and his brother-in-law.
