Re: Rough news....


Talked with Roger again last night...he's doing well. A neighbor showed up unexpectedly and brought him a big box filled with Moon Pies and Raman Noodles...thought Moon Pies were a deep South thing... emoticon emoticon

He's slowly getting paperwork in order...Betty wanted to be cremated so Rog picked out a nice urn for the ashes...making arrangements for the funeral on Thursday... Betty's kids are in...been selecting mementos to remember Mom by.
All things considered, Rog is doing OK. He asked me to pass along his deepest gratitude for all the prayers and well-wishes from the gang. He hopes to come on when things settle down.........

My deepest condolences Roger. I am relieved to hear from Ted that you have family around at this time. It can really help in this tough time.

Re: Rough news....


Yesterday at 11:00 Am we had the final services for Betty and then took her to the Memorial Gardens for the final internment. It was a great service and a huge turnout. Betty would have been proud. We then had a nice meal at the place where she worked for 19 years. Then I came home to start the grieving process. I have a small urn with her ashes in it to keep and to talk to. I did talk to a friend for awhile that is a grief counsler(sp) then just relaxed for a time. I really want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the support and prayers. They really did and do help. I will slowly return to a more active part in this beautiful place. Thanks again- Roger
