To Rogers family:

Being next door lakehome neighbors

for over 17 years, we will miss our

visits with Roger and Delores. Over

the years we have come to meet many

of the cabin/family and have had good and some not so good times. Through all of this, we have still

remained good friends and neighbors.

We want to extend any help with

our extended families in any way through these tough times.

Memories of Uncle Roger only bring a smile to my face. We should all be so lucky to have his joie de vivre and love for children and family.
