We grew up as friends, our families were close. Now the years have passed and the wounds have healed, but I still miss my old playmate and friend. I still have your Airborne Wings that you so proudly earned.

God Bless You, my pal and friend!

Roger, our life together was cut very short but not my memories. Like you said, "our love will never die." I still think of you each day and all the plans you had. With love and always a smile just for you as promised, Bev.
