To the family of Rogene Halpop:

Claudia and I mourn with you your great loss. We treasured and enjoyed both of your parents when we lived in Marion where I served as pastor at St. John's from 1987-2001. Your parents were a great gift when they moved back to Marion. Faith was deep in them and overflowed in their caring, giving, understanding, positive and supportive nature and their delight in life. What gifts, what loss, what hope for our time when we to "go home!"

Kay and I enjoyed our years together with Rogene and Ken. She was a class act. She visited Kay when there was a need for a good friend and she appreciated that. We had some good times together,we met for the first time in 1965, then when we came to Marion in 1970 thru 1977.
Love from Kay and Ward

To the family of Rogene Halpop;

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this time. Rogene was a wonderful lady and a gracious neighbor during their time in Mineral Point.
