When I think of Roger I visualize the joy on his face at wagon train reunions, watching the children running barefoot across the prairies & through the creeks in their long dresses and bonnets. He so loved his "wagon train family." And we loved him.

Judge Logan was a great man and has left an indelible legacy with respect to the Mountain Meadows in Utah. We will most certainly miss him, even as we continue to appreciate and be blessed by everything he has done over the last many years. I can´t imagine a more appropriate time to pass for such a God-fearing man than Good Friday. I also can´t imagine a better time of year to receive the sad news of his passing than on Easter weekend when we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. How blessed will be the day when we are reunited with our friend Judge Roger Logan.
