I cannot say enough about Roger Stewart. He was a wonderful husband and father to his children. He took a detour but eventually found his way home. He will be missed beyond words and it is good to see that he touched so many lives and did not even realize it. He was a simple man who lived a simple life. to all those who knew him, I thank you on behalf of his family. For all who are praying for us, thank you very much and may God bless you. Let us celebrate his life and know that he is in Heaven and we know this because we believe in salvation and once saved forever saved. he is in heaven and that is a great comfort to us all. thank you all and thank you for being Rogers friends.
