Barbara & family - Sharon Kline is in our current congregation at Zion UMC in Seaford and she told me of Roger's passing. I am so sorry. As a former secretary at Oaklette, I remember both of you fondly - especially on Tuesdays for the food pantry. You and the family are in our prayers.

Barbara, I was so surprised to hear of Roger's passing. You are in my prayers as I know only to well how hard it is to handle a spouse's death. Roger and I were work buddies, and he could always be counted upon to come through with any task. He will be sorely missed. Sharon Kline
