Every time I think of Roger, a HUGE smile creeps across my face. The memoriess I have of Roger will last inside of me forever. I do not think I can remember a time when we were together and weren't laughing or eating amazing food! I am so glad I was introduced to you and being able to live around your spirit for such a brief time has made me a better man! I TRULY LOVE YOU and WILL MISS YOU DEARLY!! Please have some of your amazing meatballs and lasagna waiting for me on the other side for when I arrive.
To all the Faustinos, I wish I was able to spend more time with all of you but sometimes life happens. The times I did get to spend with you are cherished and my thoughts and love are with each one of you. I hope that all of you are doing the absolute best you can be!
"Roggio, you are always welcome at the Bellagio!!"
