Missing you.....Michael started school today he is so grown up. You would be so proud of him. And Lukas who you never got to meet would just love you, I wish more than anything that you had been able to meet him and then there is the baby on the way...I wish you were here I miss you so terribly but I know it is selfish of me to wish you back. But I love you forever and miss you like crazy.

I miss you what seems like more every day sometimes I don't feel like I can even go on and today has been one of those days. I miss you so very much. And I love you still so very much I will forever love and miss you. You will forever be in my thoughts and I will never let your memory die.

Its hard to believe that its been a year since Roger was taken from us. I still cry in my sleep sometimes, moreso lately since just days ago another close friend of mine died in a car accident. Everyone has said that time will ease my pain but so far nothing has eased my pain and it only seems to grow with time. I'd like to think that the passed year was a nightmare that haunts me night and day but the truth is I know it isn't and I try to block it out of my mind but the pain will always dwell in my heart. I have learned something about myself over this last year though and that is that Im alot stronger than I ever imagined I could be. I've had to face my biggest fear twice over the last year and i now realize that dying is part of living and that life isn't measured by the breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away.

not a single minute of a single day goes by that I don't think about you and miss you terribly.
I love you so very much and I miss you more than any words can say. I know that they say time heals all wounds but not a day goes by that I don't have to pray to God to help me through the day with out you. Ray is getting ready to go to college and it is making me miss you more just to know that I won't be able to just go to the house and see at least one of you.
I just needed to say hey one way or another.
I love you forever bubby!

Sweet boy. I am missing you tonight. I came here to leave a condolence for Elizabeth and found myself reading through your messages. You are so very precious to me. I can't believe that you are gone.
We leave for Costa Rica on Wednesday. You have helped send us there. I will be taking something of yours to leave behind when we come home. There are so many places you should have been able to go and so many things you should have been able to do. I guess I will never do anything new without wishing you could be beside me. I know that I never revisit anyplace we went together without missing you. Know that I will love you forever. Love, Mom

I can never seem to let Roger slip my mind......... I try not to think about him but it so hard. I dont know how long I will be able to stand thinking of him all the time and not be able to see or talk to him..... Then I put guilt on myself for not keeping in touch with one of my best friends that was always there for me. Maybe if I made one phone call it would have changed everything that has happened and he would still be here today with everyone who loves him so dearly....... I just dont know how long I can take this! But it is just something I have to live with. But I will be with him one day then I can tell him how sorry I am for not keeping in touch...... I love Roger with all my heart and I always will. He was like a brother to me. I love ya Rog see ya soon bub!

Roger, I was in Political sciences today. Drew was there. It was odd all three of us have been in atleast one class together each year, untill this one that is. ofcourse you graduated and wouldn't have been there anyways but I couldnt help but notice we weren't all there. I miss you man. oh well.. I'll cya soon I guess ya know maybe a few years, maybe a few days, something you taught me was no one knows. but I will see you one day and on that day I will be like "hey" and you will probably be like "hey" then we will prolly say some stuff and joke around a bit and then like well iono it's not that day yet is it? well just see when that day comes Cya in heaven tell Jesus I said I love him, and tell him I said to watch over me as I venture out into this world of college and stuff. I mean I'll tell him too but I figured since I'm typing this to you anyways. welp cya later man. rest up.

I dont even know where to begin..... I guess you could say that Roger and I go way back! We were always in school together, from Prichard, through East Middle, and finally graduated together from East Carter High School in 2003. We were on the Academic Team together in Middle School, and had several classes together such as Algebra, French, and my favorite: Band. I have many great memories of Roger. Like the time that me and him danced in the band trailor to a goofy song on the stereo, The times that he used to pretend to attack people witha traffic cone, The time at senior night when they announced that Roger's future plans were to "go to college and make a lot of money," The picture of him with his arm around me in fourth block, and the time that I looked across the room and Roger was sitting in the floor playing my tuba. Those memories only scratch the surface of the many that I hold so dear. I can hear his voice saying to me: "Well hello, Miss Rhea." I remember all of the time we spent exploring outside of the high school during Band Booster meetings that always ran just a little to long. If there were two examples that I could use to describe Roger it would have to be his unbelievable wit and intelligence, and what a ladies man he was. I remember at EC Basket Ball games and at the Myrtle Beach trip, you could look over to Roger and he would be surrounded by girls. I guess they all knew just what a special guy he was. I remember when I heard what happened, it was the day before my 18th Birthday. Two days later I was looking through pictures on my digital camera that a friend had borrowed. I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw picture after picture of Roger on the day of his Baptizm. Words can't begin to express what a blessing it was to find pictures of Roger that I had no idea I even owned shortly before I left to go to the funeral home. I still dream of Roger often, I always dream that he is with us again and that he is the sam old Roger. I miss him so bad, especially when I go to watch the band this year, and don't see him there. It doesnt seem real to imagine what has happened. Even though Roger left us almost four months ago.. I still think I see him when I'm out somewhere. I wish that I could have had one more chance to have seen Roger, but I know I will again one day. Until then, your all in my Prayers, and let me know if I can do anything. I am proud to know that I can look back years from now, and call Roger a friend. God Bless You All.

I went all through grade school, middle school, and high school with Roger. He was always real sweet, and could always say something wise or truthful. One particular memory that I have is during our senior year of highschool, in Ms. Morman's English-4 class, we were in a group to act out 2 scenes from Macbeth. Roger was Macbeth and I was Lady Macbeth. He acted so well in that class, because he had so much talent with his voice. I am really going to miss him, he was such a good friend.

Jessica, Thank you so much for your condolence. I'm so sorry for your loss too. You and your family are also in my prayers. Roger's and Jason's presence here was brief but they were truly loved and for that we can be thankful. I'm positive that they are happy and very busy taking care of God's business. They aren't far away. Just waiting to welcome the rest of us home someday. I noticed in Roger's picture that he too played the guitar. Jason loved music. He used to laugh and ask people, "Wow, could you imagine God's guitar?" Just maybe he and Roger have advanced to the harp! Let's just pray for one another, for our jobs here are incomplete. They are needed there and we are needed here. Let's do what we can to make the best of the rest of our stay. You have already begun to help others who have suffered similar losses. Thank you again. Jason's MOM

I regret to say that Roger and I weren't that close in high school. We did talk every now and then and had some classes together our junior year. Roger and I had this weird bond. We could always talk, even if we hadn't in forever. He was a great guy and a greater friend. I wasn't able to go to the funeral, but I want to say that I am praying for the family and I wish you all the best of blessings. Roger touched so many lives, more than anyone will ever know. Continue to do so in Roger's memory! Love and Prayers Always!

I miss roger so bad, that ive cried everynight since that horrible day. It is so hard to lose such a wonderful person like Roger. He was one of my best friends. Roger was one of the greatest people i ever knew. He was always there for you when you need some one to talk to and whenever he smiled no matter what mood you were in you would smile too. He was always the loving guy when he had a girlfriend and he always cared for them so much and took care of them. I remember one night i was talking to him on the phone and he talked about being hungar and need smokes, and i remember getting a phone call the next morning telling me to go outside to the end of my drive away and look in the dirt. There in the dirt he wrote "Hey Crackhoe". I will never forget a moment i had with roger even though we arent related anymore and we werent really cause anut jean died but it felt like we were brother and sister. I'll never forget the songs he made up they were so beautiful and made you laugh. I still have all my notes and pictures of roger and have made a little memorial with them on my wall. Everytime i pick up the phone i start to dail his number but then realize that he wont pick up. Roger broke a promise to me. He promised me that we'd die together that we'd grow old together and sit on someones porch in old people rocking chairs and beat each other with our cane. Roger shall never be forgetten and i hope that god in heaven is treating him so good. Roger was my angel the one always watching over me and giving me the best advice. I remember one night talking on the phone to roger and he was telling me about peircing his eyebrow and i want to perice my fatroll below my bellbutton and he was talking to me as i did it and the scar i have were the ring wouldnt go threw is my mark of roger. I will forever miss him and i hope hes happy where hes at im so sorry Janie, Roger, Ray, and Jessica if you all ever need anything i will more than gladly help you i love you all

I consider myself one of the luckiest people in the world to have had the pleasure of being friends with Roger, he was the the most caring,passionate and down to earth guy I've ever known. Those things and his sense of humor and ability to brighten anyones day were several of the qualaties that drawed me to Roger and helped to form the friendship that blossomed so fast and that I will cherish eternally. Until that tragic day, which I will never forget because that same day also marked my sisters 14th birthday, I had never experienced losing a friend or anyone outside my family.Roger was a great guy and the best friend anyone could ever ask for and I will cherish every single memory I had with him for as long as I live and our friendship will live eternally. When I was told that Roger was dead that day at lunch I froze- I couldn't talk, I couldn't cry, and I couldn't believe it was real and when it hit me-it hit me hard I broke down and cryed for days,but I still believed deep down in my heart that it wasn't real. I dont think I realized he was really gone until I walked into the funeral home just before he was to be moved to the church for the services- I got cold chills and I felt a piercing pain in the pit of my stomach and in my heart I felt so empty. When I looked at Roger lying there so lifeless and different like something out of my worse nightmares I knew it was real and that-that was goodbye until we meet again in heaven I just wished that I could have talked to him and told him goodbye and cry on his shoulder like I did so many times before in chorus when I'd cry over little things like guys and spats with friends but roger never turned me away even when he had problems of his own he'd just hug me and let me cry on his shoulder and sing the lyrics to "lean on me." While I stood there crying I could hear the words echoing in my mind... "lean on roger when you're not strong he'll be your strength to carry on" and I'd always laugh at him but I knew deep down that those werent just words they had meaning behind them. Ever since the day he went away I've been playing memories of him in my mind like an never ending movie because i dont want to remember him the way I saw him in his casket that monday-thats not the roger i knew. My last memory with roger was may 29,03 the last day of school and the day before graduation,i remember that i was crying and roger told me not to cry that he was happy he could finally be free to persue his dreams and i stopped crying and took a picture of him in his cap and gown an gave him a hug and i said goodbye and he said i'll see you again and i'm gonna come and visit you i promise but he never got to keep that promise that was the last conversation we had... i never thought it would be the last Goodbye. I've never lost anyone close to me that was so young and had so much to live for. He had so much talent and it's a shame everyone couldn't have been influenced by him. Roger's death has proved to me that you dont have to be hold to die and you have to live every second of everyday to its fullest and dont underestimate what you have because everything that you have could be gone in the blink of an eye when you least expect it. Its a fact that you dont know what you've got until its gone. I now Know what i had-i had the best friendship anyone could ask for and to call roger a friend is really not enough he was more like the big brother i never had, he taught me so many things without even knowing it sometimes, he never turned his back on me and i never got to say thanks, so thank you Roger.
This poem is for you Roger because i know how much you loved my poems and you always asked when i was gonna write a poem for you well i did
Things Do Change
- As the wind blows on, the time flies by.
Things do change
and sometimes our best friends die
living with only memories we try to get by
We continue to grow.
Now facing the truth we try to let go.
Journeying through the rest of your life without a close friend
and with the pain
we try to forget that things will never again be the same.
But the pain remains,
the tears fall forth,
now trying to move on for all it's worth.
From losing a friend,
we've learned in return -
Things do change
and with that time continues to turn.
Rest In Peace Roger
Thanks for Everything and I Love You.
Its just like i wrote on your notebook "Ashley & Roger Best friends today, tommorrow, and forever."
To Rogers family I'm so sorry for your loss and you are all in my prayers. I never got to know you all but Roger talked about all of you all the time he loved you all more than life its self, he will truly be missed but the heavens have gained an angel and now he can watch over us and guide us in our times of need a job hes always been able to do well.

This poem is for you Roger.
When I am gone, release me, let me go- I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love, you can only guess, how much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love you have shown But now it's time I traveled alone....
So grive a while for me, if you must Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for awhile that we must part, So bless the memories within your hearts. I won't be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near, And if you listen in your heart, you'll hear All of my love around you soft and clear- And then, when you come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home".
I had the privilege of working with Roger. Even though we worked together a short while he became a good friend fast.I miss you Roger, Ralph's isn't the same without you.My prayers and thoughts are with your family. May God Bless you in your time of need.

Roger was my wonderful little brother for 18 years even when he was no longer "little" he was always my baby brother. He was a very loving and caring broher and uncle. I am so glad that despite the fact that he is no longer with us that my son, Michael, had the wonderful priviledge of knowing and loving his uncle Roger for 3 years. Roger had such a big heart, and gave so much of himself and that was evident within all of the people who came to the house, the funeral home and to the funeral, he touched so many lives with his. He so many times made me laugh until I cried, I miss that so very much already, though I have cried so many times in the last several days for other reasons, I have also found myself laughing at the many great memories that we had together. I love him forever and can never forget all the memories that we made. Roger was such an eloquent speaker and he always knew just what to say to make you feel better, we would sit and talk for hours about nothing and laugh together about the silliest things, that however is only part of what made Roger so great. There are not enough words in the world to say how much I miss him already and what I wouldn't give for one last hug and an "I love you sissy" but I know he is in heaven playing guitar and singing with the angels. To the rest of my family, I love you so and am thinking about you every moment of the day and praying that God contiues to grace us with his presence and help us all through this terrible time. We will love you always "Rogie D"
Your Sissy,
Jessica

We both knew Roger and we both thought the world of him. I (Joanna) worked with Roger at Ralph's during the summer, and grew to think of him as a very good friend. I know we will miss seeing him... he always had something clever and funny to say to make us laugh. He was one of my favorite people to work with at the grocery store, and I admired him for his maturity....(he had more than most of the other boys his age!) God chooses people for a reason, and as hard as it may be to see, he has chosen Roger for a reason. His family is very blessed to have had him as long as they did, and everyone else who knew him is lucky to have known him... He was very special. God truly blessed you Mr. and Mrs. Moore when he gave you Roger. My husband and I send out our deepest sympathies to your entire family.

Me and roger were like best friends and shared so many things with each other.
The Test of Time
Seems only like yesterday,
When you and I formed a special bond,
A bond that not even time could break.
I was lost until we found each other,
I longed for an ear that I could trust and on that would listen.
Many nights we spent talking,
About problems,
And what to do with ourselves.
It was just like yesterday,
When I told you about the helpless butterfly,
And you completely understood,
It was you whom I learned to trust.
When you finally talked me into sharing,
My deepest and most guarded secrets,
You then shared yours with me.
When ever we need one another we were always there for each other.
We were the perfect friendship,
That others could only wish for.
Seems as if it were yesterday,
When you told me I should never have to cry,
And those who had made me do so should die.
I remember,
You made me promise to always be your friend,
No matter what should ever happen in the future.
My voice you longed to hear,
Because you said it was so beautiful.
"I'll always love you and no matter what,
I'll never leave you here alone." You promised.
But only yesterday,
You unwillingly broke your promises to me.
And now I cry because of you.
Your life left unfinished, and so many broken hearts needing comfort.
I feel as though my eyes deceive me,
That you're not this numb body lying in front of me.
Because I know that at any minute,
We'll embrace again,
And you'll tell me that I deserve to be happy and I shouldn't be crying.
Now I can only wish you were here to help me through this pain.
I hope and pray that each day when I open my eyes,
That this is nothing but an awful nightmare.
You're much too good to be taken away from the world yesterday,
Now our memories and promises lay in the past,
And a future without you seems much too long to live.
Seems only like yesterday,
When you and I formed a special bond,
A bond that time has broken.
so in his memory, cause we both liked poetry this poem is for no one else but him. My heart goes out to Roger, Janie, and Ray. But try not to be so sad cause Roger always wanted for people to be happy and never sad.

Roger was a really close friend of mine and I loved him dearly.... I am very hurt that this had to happen to not only me but for his family and friends also..... Roger was a great person we had been friends for along time. But I know he is in heaven watching over all of us now... I did not get to make it to the funeral because I have moved out of Grayson to Somerset Ky. I hate it I had to miss it I tried everything I possibly could to get there. I am sorry Mr. and Mrs. Moore and Ray that this terrible thing had to happen. I have been searching all the online ways to getting things on Roger and I'm not having alot of luck but I did find this to tell you that I am sorry and my thoughts and prayers are on you all and Roger. God Bless you and may Roger Rest In Peace. I Love You Roger...........

I really can't say that I had the privilege of knowing Roger that well, but I do know Ray. If Roger was anything like his brother, he was a wonderful guy. My heart goes out to Roger's family, you will be in my prayers. God bless!

I graduated with Roger in May and it is such a shock for him to be gone so soon. Mrs. Carroll was my 4th grade teacher and Mrs. Moore was my brothers 1st grade teacher. My deepest sympathy to Rogers family.

Dear Roger, Janie, and family
We are greatly saddened by your loss. Our prayers and thoughts will be with you. Roger came into the pawn shop regularly and he was always such a nice person to talk to. He really liked to look at our guitars and sometimes played them. It was obvious that music was one of his favorite things.

Roger was a great person. Even though I didnt really get to know him I got to hear great things about him, and always had the priviledge of seeing a smile upon his face and him making someone laugh. I will keep all of you in my prayers and hope you allow God to help you through this time. I know his family was great and really loved him. I had the priviledge of having his mom as my first grade teacher at Prichard Elementary School. God bless you all!
