RIP Mr. Rogers. I was so lucky to see you and Mrs. Rogers the last time you came up to Maine with Kathi and Dale. I always tried to make it to Dad's when I knew you folks were coming! Still remember watching Hee Haw at your house in Kittery and your dog that sat on the hassock with his paws on the floor in front of him watching it too! My love to Mrs. Rogers and the all the family!

We send our thoughts and prayers to Maggie and the family. We were so privileged to share a friendship with Linn. He will always have a special place in our hearts. Always we will remember his smile and gentle manner. As a member of Mended Hearts , he served as an officer for many years encouraging others who had heart disease. Linn, God bless you and Rest In Peace,
