Dad I can’t believe you’re gone, it hurts so much more than I thought and I knew it would. There’s nothing that anyone is saying about you now that you’re gone that they haven’t already been saying for years. That proves what they say is true. Moving forward will be difficult without you but I know I’ll be ok because I have have a little bit of you in me. I’ll spend my remaining life sharing memories of you with all the others who love you, (and there is many.) Thanks for showing me by example how to live with dignity. You will live forever in my heart. I will always love and never forget you Dad.

It is with a heavy heart that I extend my deepest sympathy to Cheryl, Mike, Tony, Beaver,
Brenda, Sheila and all the extended Rogers family. I will always be forever grateful that Andy was a part of our lives in the Village of Forge. We will always have the memories, remember the stories (true or otherwise) and continue to carry his spirit. Thank you Andy for
being a part of my life. Farewell my friend.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Cheryl, Jenna, Christopher, Ryan and all the Rogers family. Andy made a significant and positive difference in my life when we were growing up in Forge Village. He was a great and trusted friend and the memories I have of Andy will always be cherished.
