WIFE OF A (DECEASED) UNITED STATES ARMY VETERAN
Ann. You know how much I love you and Roger. There could never be better neighbors, who are like family to us. 29 years of love and friendship watching our children grow up went by so fast. I saw how much you love and admired that amazing man you married. I’m praying the beautiful memories of Roger, your children and your love for the Lord will be the comfort you need to meet each new day without him. I love you and plan on being your friend for years to come.
