And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
I’ve lived a life that’s full
I’ve traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
Roger,
Love was holding your hand. Love was drinking coffee together. Love was my heart jumping when I saw you. Love was seeing your smile. Love was finishing each other’s sentences. Love was not having to say anything at all. Love was dancing around the floor in your arms. Love was acting like kids together. Love was seeing the twinkle in your eye. Love was knowing just the right words to say. Love was the way I felt when I saw you. Love was that hug that comes at the perfect moment. Love was kind.
Miriam

Roger was a truly unique person. I knew him well back in the 70’s. We had a lot of fun together. I remember your wedding I was the one with the eye patch. We all will miss his laughter and the good times.
