He had a passion for everything. Everything he did, he put his heart and soul into it. He would get everything done for others before he would take care of himself.

    Four memories of Roger Lee

    I remember sitting on the bus every day, from grades 6-10, seeing your smiling face and shooting the sh-t. You were always a good friend, and always gave me a hug and a smile no matter how long it had been. I will miss you, friend.

    THANK YOU!!!!!!! For your sacrifice it is greatly appreciated. There is a hope for a future where young men like yourself will not have to die in the wares of the world. ISAIAH 2:4 And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore......
