Thank you to everyone for keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers. We miss him deeply.
Prayers and sympathay to you and your family Karen at this very sad and difficult time. May your wonderful memories of your life with your husband bring you many smiles and strength during your loss.
My childhood memories are full of our family gatherings, mostly at the Cardinal Farm. When the room was full of conversation, Uncle Rogers voice, laughter, and presence were unmistakable. May Gods comforting embrace bring peace to all who grieve this loss.
Dear Karen and family.. I am so sad to hear that one of my very best friends has moved on. Roger and I have a long history together, we were like brothers. We shared our lives together and now there is an empty spot in my heart. Roger kept the card game going until I get there, see you on the other side. Have a safe journey.
Dear Karen and family … I think you realize that we are all in shock for losing one of our very best friends! Roger was like a big brother to me, and we had many many good times with both of you, in our travels, celebrations, cards, and daily lives. Roger will be deeply missed – there is an empty chair in our gang of over 50 years. His suffering is over, may his soul rest in peace and I hope there are alot of card games going on in heaven! Much love, Marie Jorgensen xx oo
Our deepest sympathy
Karen and family. So very sorry to hear about Roger. I remember the times when we were kids and Aunt Anita always had Roger play his Accordion for all of us. Even though he really didn’t want to, he always did. He played really good too. My sympathies to all of you in this sad time.
