Not sure what to say?

I was sorry to hear of the home-going of Roger. I rejoice with you as family that he is finally home. I always enjoyed my visits with Roger and Dorothy and sometimes with his family. He was well-grounded in his faith and always a gentleman. I loved his many stories and his sense of humor. I always appreciated his positive attitude and testimony. Be assured of my prayers for you as a family.

To Dorthy and the Bonga family. So sorry to hear of the passing of Roger. Our hearts, sympathy and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.

Blessings to all .

Dear Bonga Family

I appreciated the gifts and talents of Roger when we served on the Board of the Gun Lake Community Church....He was a very bright and astute man who had great insight and understanding of difficult matters that confronted the Board.

He certainly was a man of many diversified talents and his passing is a great loss to all who knew him...

My husband and I saw him frequently at the Gun Lake Chapel as well... He always had something interesting to share...

Dear Dottie and Family,

I would like you to know how sad I am to hear of your husband and Dad's passing. May you know the last time I was honored to help your dad was probably the most sad but yet enduring to me as a care provider.

I sat and chatted holding his hand and we talked how he had a good life, wonderful kids and grandkids. The Lord had blessed him with so much. He felt he had done the Lord's work and had faith that he taught his family to continue with this work. ...

Sympathy to Dorothy and family in the passing of Roger yet praise in his home-going. May God comfort during this time.

My deepest sympathies to the Bonga family. I used to chat with Roger and Dorothy and Roger always was so grateful for all the opportunities for travel and the life experiences he and Dorothy and their family had shared. He was a very strong person. Praying for his loved ones, Cindy N, Chaplain

What wonderful memories we share. Dot.

Dear Dorothy and family:
Sincere sympathy to you, your children,
grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

We go way back. I first got acquainted with
you and Roger when we sang in the Everglade
Church Choir. He always managed a joke or
funny story to keep choir rehearsals on the
"light" side.

Several years later, I was privileged to be
one of his colleagues at Tannewitz. It was
his suggestion that Marv and Henry take a
look at me. I'm glad they...
