Please accept my sincere condolences. I have not seen Roger in years, but his wonderful mother Emma, was my Sunday School teacher at the neighborhood Moose Corners Sunday School. Emma did beautifu tatting, we all admired her skillful handiwork. She had beautiful handwriting with her left hand, and she wrote a thank you note to my mother for the blood donation to her when she had leukemia. Roger had a great family who are remembered lovingly, may God bless his survivors.
