Dear Becky and family,
We are saddened by your loss and our loss of Roger. You you and Roger were great neighbors and such kind friends to us. We made it before the service started, then the line (understandably) shut down. We made it thru Rick’s talk; Finn, age 19 months was a trooper. So sorry we didn’t get to talk to you in person and express our condolences. Much love.

Wishing blessings upon the all the family as you remember Roger and how he shared his Christian faith. His ministry carries on through the people he touched at camp, in churches, and in the.Christian love he shared any way he could. I am unable to travel, but will be thinking of you not only during service for Roger, but in the months ahead.

Becky my soul felt your loss when I heard the news. Roger was always a friendly and yielding to God’s calling or Becky's calling sometimes also. Always willing to give a hand. Roger went running home to be in the arms of Jesus after his final look of good bye to his family and earthly friends. He is settled in the arms of Jesus and very content. Becky you will be able to join him with his Lord and Savior, when your name is called. All who know Christ will be following Roger home at their appointed time. God Bless you and know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love in Christ Glenda McCracken.

Becky, Rick, Heidi and family. Our lives have been woven in connections over the past 30 years since we love the LORD, serving Jesus faithfully in spreading the Gospel through WI Renewal Ministry events, Lay Witness Weekends, WI Confessing Movement, WCA, Kairos Outside, WI, and Fox Valley Walk to Emmaus. We have enjoyed our connections with Roger and his heart for serving Jesus! Know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Roger got his eternal upgrade, for him the race has been completed and because of Jesus' work on the cross...he is victoriously in the LORD's eternal arms. For those left behind, the heart hole of grief is real and impactful. May God's love and grace fill those times when the memories and grief are strongest. Your friends in Christ - Anita and Don
