Prayers to Karen and to my cousins. Roger was sweet and caring . Memories of the times our families were at the lake and even times just playing in our backyards brings a smile and will forever be in my heart.  Roger will be missed. My love to you all.

Roger was always so easy to visit with, a really great guy who will be truly missed! He went through such great challenges so gracefully.

Karen thinking of you and your family,lifting you up in prayer.

My deepest symphay to Karen and Family - My love to Sandra, Pam, Donna, Beth and Angie.  I have wonderful  memories of Roger and all the time our families spent together growing up  - he was kind and loving.  May God bless you all.   Love,

To Karen and family,  You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I miss you so bad, already. I was always proud of you. You were so kind hearted. Today I was passing by a field , & in the middle of that field was a big big dirt mound.  On top of that was a white bull. Right smack dab on top of that mound, swishing his tail & looking out over it all!  I thought " king of the hill!"  You were good at that game.  I'll love you forever, lil brother.

Our deepest sympathy to Karen and family. Roger was a wonderful, sweet guy and he'll be missed by all who had the priviledge of knowing him. We know God has great plans for him in heaven. Until we meet again.

Roger will be truly missed, I worked with him and he helped me out a lot on the job, Prayers to his family.

Roger will be greatly missed! We send our deepest sympathy...Justin, Danielle Madison and Riley Covalt

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

 Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
 Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
 That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
 God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

 It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

 God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not  be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
