Dear Doris and Family,
I am so sorry to learn that Roger has left us. He was such a sweet and loving man that it is hard to believe he is no longer with us. When ever we came to New Hampshire we always stayed at your house and we always had such a great time. In some ways it seems like yesterday and in some ways it seems so long ago. Saying I'm sorry doesn't seem to help much but it is the only thing that comes to mind. I wish there was something I could do to help ease the pain. I love you and your family and I always have. I will keep you in my prayers and you all hold a very special place in my heart. May God bless you and keep you in his care. I send you and the family all my love.

I know how difficult it is and will be. You feel like you're broken and will never heal. However, it slowly will, but never all the way. God is with you. My deepest sympathy.

I had the privilege of exercising with Roger at the Wellness Center. I enjoyed hearing about his family that he was so proud of, and he so kindly listened to stories about my own family. He was a constant light at the end of the day for me. You will be greatly missed, Roger. Rest in Peace. With Sympathy, Alycia Bennett, RN
