Kathy, it's hard to understand why Rodger was taken from us so quickly, What was God's rush. I find comfort in knowing you Kathy were a huge special part of such a well-lived, brief life. We talked about you often; he couldn't believe such a wonderful person as you could love. He loved you so much and truly his sole mate.
I hope you'll remember you have friends and relatives who will lend you an ear to listen, a hand to hold and a heart to share. Don't hesitate to call. God is always in your corner at a time like this - and so are we. Always know you're NEVER alone.
We cannot take away your pain, but I can listen if you want to talk about it. Thank you for loving, and being so patient with my special brother and best friend.
Love you my dear sister-in-law. Bunny

Sending sympathy and hugs to the bergquist family. Rodger was a wonderful person who blessed many lives. I was lucky enough to know him through church. We joined and attended membership classes at the same time. He always greeted me with a smile...hello...and a hug. We will miss you my brother in Christ.

I can only hope that you knew how much you would be missed by so many. You brought a smile to my face every time I saw you up to an including Easter Sunday last month. The children of Mt Olive won't understand why you are not there to give them a big hug and flash your wonderful smile. Rest well, Cousin!
