Dear Roger, You were always very kind to me and Flo. I loved hearing your stories and talking with you. In later years I didn’t see you as much but that didn’t matter because I knew you had a soft spot for us. The only thing I wish is that you’d got to meet my son but as you watch down on your girls and grandchildren just look a little to the left or right from time to time and you’ll see Zac teaching Theodore how to play football or jumping on the trampoline with Nenn. You’ll see Clair up to no good with Nenn and Kate having them over for little sleepovers. You’ll see Mandy showing them the love of a Nanny and Ells loving them like I loved her. Thank you for making the world a better place with your time here and the family you leave behind, they are simply incredible. Goodnight Roger love you Aman, Flo, Sienna-Rose and Theodore xxxx A Little Poem  As you take this final journey to that wonderous heavenly place  Your loved ones will remember every part of you your heart your hands your face Go in peace and know your family will be fine As you watch over them from up above your light will always shine The sound of your booming laughter is engrained in our hearts and mind  You were always very open and to many you were kind  Your stories made us giggle and they made us laugh out loud You stood up for what you believed in and you always stood out in a crowd Every day you will be missed and sometimes we’ll even cry You’ll be remembered for all the good times and our spirits will be lifted high We promise that the tears will go and that they won’t last too long You legacy will live on through our memories and your songs

For Dad, It’s a thirty minute service To talk about our Dad, But how to choose the moments Now they’re precious memories had. We thought of things you’ve given us, The places that we’ve lived. The animals that loved you And some silly things you did. The friends you’ve made along the way, your family far and wide, And though you struggled as a man We see the heart inside. We admire your creativity, Your burning spirit bright, Your refusal to accept the things your heart believed weren’t right. You never feared to speak your truth - A fact that made life hard. Because your truth was really that you loved with all your heart. It’s the hardest thing to say goodbye - there’s so much more to say. Just know we love you Dad And know we’ll meet again someday. ❤️

SUCCESS To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healtby child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. —Ralph Waldo Emerson

I will always have fond memories of you Uncle Roger, even though we argued some times. Rest well until we meet again xxx

Saw this verse and thought of you Dad… I promise to find hope through the heartache, to find joy through the sadness, to find strength through incredible weakness, to love even when it's hard, to live freely and bravely, even when I'm scared, to make the most of my days... to live in a way that would make you proud. ❤️Love you always ❤️

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
