To the Rogers Family:

Words cannot express the grief and sadness, when someone dearly loved as Uncle Gene has passed away. The feelings are so deep, so overwhelming and unreal, that it's difficult to know just what to say. But when language fails us, we can share what's in our hearts by letting you know that I'll be there to listen, comfort and to help the healing start. Keep your faith and know that "joy cometh in the morning". Uncle will be missed, but I thank God we knew him.
Love You ALL

Now you can rest and not suffer anymore. You were a great ex-father-in-law. You always had a bright smile for me when I saw you.

Love you, your Grand-daughter Dana's, Mom.
