I have enjoyed many a stay at Rog and Eileen\u2019s home, and those visits always included stories and, of course, ice cream, in the evenings. \u00a0The sharing was rich and the friendship was a gift.\u00a0 My memories of Dr. Rog bring a smile to my lips and joy to my heart, but now there\u2019s the added component of grief.\u00a0 I pray that each of us, his friends, and especially Eileen and his family, would find strength from the Lord as we walk through that grief.\u00a0 He is in a better place, but he will be sorely missed.\u00a0 Peace to his memory.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry I don&#8217;t have a recent photo of Dr. Rog and Eileen, but I think this sun setting is representative of Rog&#8217;s life, beautiful and a blessing to all who experience it, but it is now a memory.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/10\/blog-awe1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4095\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/10\/blog-awe1.jpg\" alt=\"blog-awe\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/10\/blog-awe1.jpg 500w, http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/10\/blog-awe1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=post&object_id=4104&width=250&height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A dear friend passed away last week and though he was in his eighties, his death was a shocking surprise, the result of a fall with a bang on the head.\u00a0 Dr. Rog was a sweet and humble man, always &hellip;
