God has a lovely garden,
In his mansion up above,
Roger will tend the garden every day,
With tenderness and love.

Roger was a true gentleman, a good neighbour and friend.
He loved growing vegetables and spent many hours tending his plants. We will miss our conversations at the end of the garden and the expert advice warmly given.

I took care of you for five weeks and enjoyed them so much that they passed so quickly. I'll miss preparing your favorite food, the time we spent together while you showed me your photo albums and explained who was in the photos and what you did in each one, your boy scout time, the time you spent in the army ... RIP
