Brandi and Chad,



I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am sure your Mom could not bear to be without her Roger and called him up to her. I can't imagine the feelings you have, but please know you are in my heart and prayers. Your Mom and Dad brought such joy to others and I will remember them both fondly. Love, Pam and Family
