to all those who came to calebrate rogers life today, all i can say is you did him proud! and i know he would have loved to have been there!!! (sign of a goood wake!!) it was so heartwarming for me to see so many people i knew!!(thankyou to to brian amd marion rogers for coming and greeting me straight away i was so nervous!!) i was very apprehensive to go and took all my courage to go to the funeral thinking i wouldnt know anyone; but still i felt it was the right thing to do regardless of the apprehension. but as i turned out through roger in his innocent way we all knew each other. just goes to show that he was a bringer togetherer(as us upbury shool pupils used to say!!) that was his thing; even though people didnt realise it; he was a clever man in his own right.many thanks to the bishop gundolfs for a great sing song and dancing his family looked totally pleased at the (gatecrashers oops!! i mean attendees)!! all so heartfelt and they knew it, i hope it gave them a warm feeling that roger was such a popular young man!!
many many thanks too to karen and dall for an amazing buffet and warm welcome.
