Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Becca and family in the passing of Roger. We always enjoyed talking with Roger and Becca as we sat in adjacent pews at First Baptist. Roger would often say we “had their backs” since we sat directly behind them. A good man who will surely be deeply missed.
