To the Gage family my sincere condolences.



To Ken: I am sorry I cannot make it to the service and was very sad to hear about your brother. We think things will go on the same forever, but this is not the case. By now I'm sure someone has told you that Roger succumbed to cancer in August of last year. He often spoke about the adventures you two shared, especially when we got a Christmas card. He considered you a good friend. We had been together since we were 12 years old and were truly happy. Life for me is now empty and the lesson to be learned is to enjoy life everyday and not take anything for granted.



My prayers are with you and your family.



Love, Ginger
