Grandpa, not a day goes by that I wish I could've met you. My Mom, Aunt, and Uncles speak of you so highly. I know that you are watching over us from heaven. I hope that your kids and grand kids are making you proud with all the things that we have accomplished over the years. I know that you are an amazing man and father. I bet you would've been an even better grandfather to us. We continue to honor you by having a whole wall dedicated to you in our house. You have made so many of us in our family wanting to be involved with law enforcement in some way! Thank you for showing me what its like to put your life on the line to do what is right. Cant wait for the day that I will finally be able to meet the wonderful man that I have the privilege to call my Grandpa.

With all of the love,
Molly Nicolle Rogers
