My daddy, Billy Noles, often spoke of “Crow”. I think that they were big buddies at Amana. My sympathies to the family.

Friendship is always a two way street. I had a long, long friendship with the Crow. He was a blessing to me. He could always make me laugh and make me happy if I was sad. A friend knows all about you and still loves you–this is the kind of friends we were. He was caring, easy going, funny, kind, loving, wonderful, and brave up to the end. I’ve had much fun with him over the years. He loved his children and grandchildren and I know there will be a big void in your lives without him. Keep those memories flowing. I am so sorry that he is gone. For Crow, death is is his next big adventure! Praying for you all and much love to you!

Please allow me to offer my condolences to the, Honey family with these healing words: “Your dead will live… Awake and shout joyfully, you residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of the morning, and the earth will let those powerless in death come to life.” (Isaiah 26:19; Genesis 3:19) Truly, the resurrection is something for us to look forward to with eager anticipation and joy. I am very sorry for your loss. May God’s Word comfort you and your family. Sincerely, Meryl ~ healingwordsforu@gmail.com. For more information about God’s Kingdom promises, please visit jw.org.

My sympathy to Rogers family for the loss of my childhood friend. We spent many hours together as teenagers and Roger was always loyal to his friends. My prayers are with you as you adjust to the grief of someone so close as a father, grandfather, and brother. May God Bless and comfort you in this difficult time.

Carroll Davis, Chris, Leanne and Justin, so sorry for the loss of Roger. He always had a smile whenever I would see him. I have lots of good memories of the Honey Family growing up next to them on Circle Drive. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
