"Roger, It\'s been a long time since we\'ve seen each other and now it\'s too late here on earth. We\'ll have to get together when I make it to heaven so we can talk about cows, feed and how to make money farming. You raised a good bunch of boys along with the help of your wife. Matt and Paul learned well from you. It was a pleasure to serve you when I stopped at your farm. You were easy to talk with and so down to earth. Lead on, my Friend! I\'ll try to catch up to you a little later! "
In loving memory of
Roger Allen Eggert
