Though it saddens me, I have come to grips with Rogers death. As we all know God controls all things. He knew when it was Rogers time to come home and how it would happen. We are the only ones who didn't know. God knew what Roger would leave behind and the effect he/it would leave on his loved ones. We all have wonderful memories of Roger and his family and his music. Roger, you will always be my Boo. I will always think of you; you'll never be forgotten in our hearts, our minds and just know how much you've touched our souls. I love you Boo.

I remember everything!
Every Good time
Every Bad time
Every Note of every song
Every girl's scream that made us laugh on stage and off stage.
But what I will remember everyday of my life is the sight of your face in the studio, because that was pure and that is You.
I Love you bro.

To my brohter Rog.Rog I will miss you dog. All the nights we spent together. All the good and bad things we went through just gives me a learning lesson. You taught me everything I know. You were my brother and almost like a father to me. Anyone that could take his kindness for weakness will have to answer to God and only God knows and Rog knows. He will always be a shining star in my life and now he is in heaven. Rog I love U. Peace.

No one will ever know the love I have for Roger. He brought so much love, joy and peace to my life in so many wonderful ways. The world in some ways took advantage of his kind and loving ways, but I can be at peace knowing that he is now with someone who will love, respect and care for him like no other. I will miss Roger greatly but will surely never forget him. Roger I love you and you will always be in my heart. I will never regret the time we were together these last few months. Although most of our time was spent working hard to get you through a tough time, we built even more loving memories to hold on to. He always had a hug and kiss even though he struggled to be his self. He always had the strength to ask me if I needed help and to say "Mom, I love you more than you will ever know and you're always here to take care of me."
Rog, I LOVE YOU!
Your loving mother, Brenda

Brenda and Family,
"A precious one is gone from us
A voice of love is still;
A place is vacant in our hearts,
which will never be filled, here on earth.
It's hard hold the tears from flowing,
When love bound our hearts;
It's hard, to speak the words,
I miss you so and will forever be apart."
May God continue to watch and Bless you and your family.

God’s got a new Angel sitting with him on high,
He’s in a better place now even though our eyes cry.
He’s making music up in Heaven on instruments made of Gold,
He’s singing to our Father songs we may never know.
He’s left us all memories to hold dear to our hearts,
Gone but not forgotten although we are apart.
From this day on I’ll cherish my childhood friend,
Thanks for all the memories, until we meet again.
To the family of Roger (brown eyes) my prayers are with on this day.
