Dear Mrs. Watkins, Brett, Marsha, and Roger,
We moved from Ohio to Colorado in 2006, so I just recently learned about Roger's and Kim's passing away. I was so sorry to learn this. They were always fun to be with, and sincerely loved the Lord. It was a privilege to know them. God bless you, and I hope that your sorrow has lifted somewhat in the passing of the years.
Sincerely,
Vince Hilaire

So very sorry to have hear of Roger's passing. He was such a great guy who I knew well through my employer, Chemstress, these last 15 years. (And at a Christmas party or two.) Thoughts and prayers to you.
Sincerely,
Phil
