Dearest Dad,
You rest now as you have been reunited with so many family members and dear friends.
We cannot ever thank you enough for just always being there...always supporting...always loving...
Anytime we thanked you, you always said "It was easy."
You will be missed forever...the pain of your loss, the emptiness, the sorrow and the grief...is not "easy"...
One day, we will learn to live and laugh again...we shall remember your stories, your laughter...each memory will be cherished treasures we hold in our hearts!
You touched the lives of countless numbers of folks...
We hope to be half the person you were!
Miss you Pops!
Love,
Robbie and Roger

We loved having Fred as our neighbor. He was greatly missed when he returned to Rhode Island to live the remainder of his life with his family. We remember him with fondness and won't forget this wonderful neighbor.
A special "thank you" to Robbie for keeping us updated on Fred, allowing us to still be a part of his life.

Dear Rob, Roger, Sherrie, Bob, Shirley, and family.....
Your Dad was by far just a dad! He was something special to all who knew him. I'm thankful I had the opportunity to spend a day at the hospital with him, talking, laughing and taking a walk down memory lane.
I can still see his smile when I walked up to him and he realized just who I was... one of the twins as he called me, then went on to say how much he wanted the twins as his own.
Little did he know, he had a special piece of my heart and I like to think of that as his own..to keep forever. I will surely miss Fred as do all of you. What a wonderful man!!
Thinking of all of you at this very sad time. My heart goes out to each and every one of you.
Keep him alive in all of your memories. I know I will.
Love you all.

We might not have you here in person, but we have "GREAT MEMORIES" in our hearts. Your WONDERFUL personality, your SPARKLING blue eyes and your CONTAGIOUS smile, will live on in the HEARTS of all who knew you.

I send my heart felt condolences to the family and friends of Frederick, a man that protected this country from evil on foreign soil, protected us at home in uniform as a police officer, then helped those in need... He is a really great American, and a man everyone that knew him was sure to be proud...
God Bless Frederick Rogers,, Now he can protect his family from above...

A Note Of Thanks!
To all of my siblings (and their spouses)...
To all of our families...
To all of our friends, our neighbors, our colleagues...
To all of Dad's friends here in RI and elsewhere throughout the nation (he had so many friends), former coworkers and "Garfield Buddies"...
To Father Otto for the great homily, Peter for the music, Father Sears for your daily support those last two weeks, Father Richard for the annointing of the sick...
To Rick, Erin and Kendra for your readings...
To April for your poem...
To Jack, Olivia and Elisia for presenting the gifts...
To Jimmy Jr., Benjamin, PJ, Roger III, Brian and Roger for participating as pall bearers...
To Brad and Braedon for distributing Dad's brochures...
To the Pawtucket Police, Military Members and Patriot Guard Riders who made that Honors ceremony one to remember...
To the Fresenius Dialysis staff and the Evergreen House staff...

To Tom and his staff...
To so many others I wish I could list each of you by first name...
I can only say: THANK YOU!
To say the last two weeks has been difficult, is such a major understatement...
I wish to thank each and everyone of you for everything!
Perhaps you think that your hugs, kind words, donations in his honor, or the thoughtful cards and notes are insignificant...I want to tell you they are SIGNIFICANT!
Perhaps you wish you could have done more...NO WAY! What you have done is immeasurable!
I know in my heart that Dad is so proud of all of us. He deserved the send off that he received...he deserved soooo much!
Dad wants us to remain close...Dad wants us to continue doing great things for others...Dad wants us to remember the love he has for all of us!
A special THANK YOU goes out to my husband Roger. Not just for being my husband and supporting me, but for being such a great buddy for dad these last few months especially. D
