Kathy,
My husband and I sat with you and Roger at the class reunion in November. I have never seen anyone so happy to be there and so in love with his wife. I enjoyed you both and I am deeply sorry for your loss. God will continue to watch over you and his family while you miss and remember him. Blessings to you and extended families.
Love to you Kathy.
Sincerely,
Judy Bost Ingold

Rest In Peace, Roger. You always had a smile on your face and so glad to see people and let everyone know how you loved the Lord. Now, you must be so excited being in heaven with Him meeting Him face to face. Rest In Peace, Roger. Try to keep it down with the "Fraley Sisters"...I'm sure they were waiting on you with "Laud Have Mercy" when you arrived. I hope that brought a smile to your family's face.. it did mine as I wrote it. Gloria
