Roger Hanson...rest in peace

[Boudi]

Our friend Roger, who was such a loving support to many members of the group has sadly died today.  For so many of us we will feel that Roger was a friend to us, and to us especially.  He had a talent for making you feel special, and feel cared for.  In my bad times he would ring, or text, and if he didn't you still felt cared for.  Though not an instigator he was a very special part of our meets in Derbyshire, then Immi's, then at Rogers house where he offered his trademark hospitality, gorgeous garden, wonderful food...and of course, his own personality.
I'm in bits tonight.....I knew I liked him, and appreciated him....but it's more than that...he was one of the really good ones.

Rest in peace, Rog, and walk in eternity

Bless him. Can't believe it. Felt like I knew  him though FS and those meets and GB - may have been only three or four times, but enough to feel like I knew and was comfortable with him.

Immi's, Liverpool and our trip across the Mersey, his own place, GB, all happy times.

Rest in peace Rog.

Seems like Roger's funeral was today...I would have loved to be there....but there has been a chance to reflect, and remember a Great Soul.

what happened to you this weekend
there I was minding my own business, phoning home to see if I should buy any new potatoes only to be told that my daughter was giving birth at that very minute....

 
we did not even know she was pregnant... she lives at home.....

 
so this weekend rather than put out books.... I became a grandfather....

 
not every day you can say that.... I think I may stop smiling soon... at least I can now enter Helen baby contests oh and yes he looks like his grand dad....no hair twinkly eyes wicked smile..

my thoughts and prayers are with the family some of whom i have met

Lord please help them out!

GOD BLESS!

Peace and Love,
