Would the family prefer a donation made to a charity in lieu of flowers? If so, could someone please post that info.

We would like for others to know just how Roger affected our hearts.

Ellie, if you read this just know that we will always be here day or night if you need to talk. Sometimes what sounds like rambling is actually very good therapy. Just ask Keith, I'm sure he would agree. Many of us have lost loved ones and can certainly share the burden. You don't have to do this alone. Be strong, but don't try to be a hero. Its okay to need to rely on others. You'll pick it back up and move along when you are ready.

Roger knows how much you love him still.
