THE WALL OF FACES

Although I was born after your passing I remember seeing your picture at Mimi’s. I often think of how different our lives would have been if you had survived. Your passing created a void the family that was never repaired. I thank you for your service to this country. And I am proud to be your niece. We will meet one day

Uncle Roger , we have never met because I was born 4 years after you passed away . I am your brother Robert's oldest daughter. Dad passed away the day after Christmas of 2021 and I miss him so very much . Your brother loved you so much and looked up to you . I pray that you two are together again up in heaven . I will always keep both of your memories alive and tell of your bravery . Love always , your neice .

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
