Dear Friends & Family, It is with great sadness that I tell you we have lost a dear member of our family. Wednesday, January 31st, 2007, Roger William Towe died of a massive heart attack, he was 45. Roger was a wonderful big brother and friend. He was a sweet man who loved everyone he came in contact with. He was the most unselfish and giving person you will ever meet. He was very close with his family, most especially all of his nieces and nephews, children and step-children. He was Uncle Roger who rolled around on the floor and wrestled with them. They would steal his ball cap (that you never saw him with out) and play keep away. He would chase them and tickle them until they gave it up. He loved all children and they were like magnets to him. I personally loved his laugh and that awesome smile he would flash that would instantly make you smile back. We have all lost good friend. We are heartbroken but we are trusting in God and the fact that he has a purpose for Roger and needed him in Heaven. We all loved Roger very much, but could not love him as much as God does. Please pray for the Towe family as we try to cope with his tragic and unexpected death and for peace in the days ahead after we lay him to rest.
