Yesterday

So very sorry to read of Rogers passing. My thoughts go out to you all from Murray, Ky. Penny passed 3 years ago so I can certainly understand what Y'all are going through. Some wonderful years and talks from the old days. May you find peace and know Roger is in a much better place. Will be thinking of family, John Solfisburg
