Rog, you will be missed for a million reasons, I grew up with you in my life, its amazing how we change and grow. you were funny to me as a kid, and as I grew came to appreciate your sense of humor. But most importantly what I will carry with me is the way you were as I was an adult. I watched you do things for Grammybear that made her happy, little things like help her with her flowers, digging holes, moving rocks. It feels selfish of me to miss you when I know you just wanted to be with her. We will remember you with love in our hearts always until we can be together again. Tell Grammybear we miss her! xoxo The Dvoraks
