Our family would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the Hospice nurses who cared for Roger; especially his “Angels”- Tricia, Kelly, Karen and Donna who went above and beyond in their care and compassion for Roger. We are forever grateful.
The family held a private farewell followed by cremation.
