Dear Sherri and children,
I am a friend of Gary and Shirley and best friend to Kathy Pressnell. We have met a few times the last at your daughter's wedding in Plymouth, IN when I came with Kathy P to the wedding. I talked with Roger while waiting for Kathy to arrive. He was such a nice man. I am so sorry to hear of his death. My prayers go out to each of you. May the Lord embrace you all.
