Uncle Roger, you will be missed. You and Aunt Sue were such a big part of my growing up years. It was always a comfort to know you were there. The older I get, the more I realize how special that was and how blessed I have been. To Aunt Sue, cousins Wes, Jodi and Dave and your families, I am so sorry for your loss. My family and I share your heartache and will keep you in our prayers. Love to all of you - Felicia
