Roger Revis
I would like to tell you a lot about Roger. He was a wonderful person. He always showed compassion in all he did. He loved his work. He was an alcohol and drug abuse counselor. He changed many peoples’ lives and saved a lot of marriages.
His favorite hobby was hiking and camping in the western North Carolina mountains.
He had 3 boys by one of his previous marriages. He was a wonderful father to all of his boys. He did a lot with them and for them. He took them hiking and camping and attended all of their activities.
He was a wonderful husband to me for the 4 short years we were together.
I will always look at someone’s level blue eyes and wonder if they were the loving eyes of Roger Revis.
Sincerely,
Laura Revis
Joan Rodgers
Joan loved the underdog. Her heart would pour out for any and all less fortunate. She reached out to those when others would not.
Joan loved southern literature, Shakespeare and Yeats. She was a writer and a poet. She loved the English sentence.
Joan had the warmth and grace of a southerner. I miss her and I still love her.
