To the family of Roger. Roger was such a kind and caring man in our church family and he will be greatly missed. We enjoyed his singing what seemed to be one of his favorite fun songs "Wore Out". On the Sunday morning after Roger's passing, we were singing "Majesty" and I was thinking that Roger was without a doubt in that very moment truly worshiping His Majesty! Many prayers for comfort and peace to your family. Ronald, Judy and Tonya Toney
