Received this e-mail from Roger to pass on to all of us.

I know I have asked a lot of you lately. But if you would post this on the board, I would really appreciate it. This is amazing, how it all happened. The funeral for my baby today was beautiful, the crowd was so large, the chapel was full, the lobby was standing room only, & the outside was full of people. It was a beautiful service, my youngest daughter Sarah got up & spoke of Dee Dee as did some of her friends. There was a video playing on a big screen showing a lot of pics. of Dee Dee & all of us. I am sick to my stomach now, but one day it will get better. Ed & Tera Gunter were at the viewing last nite, made me feel better. I will never get over this, but one day, maybe I can live with it. But this email I sent to Sandi Naughton, & Nicole Pratt about those flowers is unbeleiveable. I think that Dee Dee had a hand in this.

After the funeral today, The director told me that the live baskets, were under the drive shelter by the funeral home. That they would not put live plants on the grave. Which there was no room, I have never in my entire life seen so many flowers at a funeral. Anyway, someone would have to take the live plants. I talked with Sarah & told her for her & her mom to just leave us one & to take the rest. She said Dad if it is a lot, I will leave a lot for you, which she did. As we left the grave site, we stopped by the funeral home & picked up what Sarah & her family left. Guess what, there was a lot of them. After we got home, some family members went out and got them out of my truck & put most of them on the back porch & some in the house. Just a little while ago, I was looking around & there was a beautiful basket with what appears to be White Roses, & other white flowers & what Lynelle calls Baby's breath & other white flowers which I don't know what they are. It is so beautiful. One of the kids had placed it on the coffee table in our family room. It is so pretty. Then I read the card. It states, we are so sad for your loss, Sandi, Jim, Rich, Nicole & Richard. I could not beleive that out of probably close to 1 hundred arrangements, this one would wind up on our coffee table. I thank all of you so much. It is so pretty. But I still can't beleive that out of all of them, this one was left for us to pick up & wound up on our coffee table in our family room. Thank all of you so much, it is so pretty. Dee Dee had seen all of the pics. I have of Rich & his race car. Maybe my baby directed this basket to my table.
