Lou...I know I sent you this before, but thought you might want to have this in E.M.'s guestbook...Bless you, Again, Ross



Gone From My Sight
by Henry Van Dyke



I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone"

Gone where?

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"

And that is dying...

Lou, He really made a difference !....Sorry...Love, Ross

Dear Lou and Family,

We didn't really know EM, only saw him twice. But, our hearts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Your heart is deeply grieved and hurting, and we pray that with the comfort and strength of our Precious Lord you will feel His healing power and love. Then you will only remember the good and fun times. Remember the old hymn "When your heart is aching turn to Jesus, He's the only friend you'll ever need". He is there for you, wrapping his arms of love around you and giving you comfort at this very minute, receive it and accept His peace.

With our deepest sympathy and love,
Betty and Don

Dear Friends:

I have been reading all of the wonderful messages regarding E.M.

Some of them make me cry but it's good crying because I know you all truly loved him, honored and respected him. He loved you, too. Each of you were dear to him.

Needless to say, this has been a very difficult time for me and my family, the consolation is knowing E.M. is with our Lord.

Thank you, Lou Rogers

Dear Carol and family,

How I adored E.M.! I always looked forward to seeing him at Trinity. He brought so much joy and laughter to our workdays. I enjoyed hearing his perspectives on various topics too! Please know that we will miss him and cherish his memory. May God's overwhelming peace be with you in this time.

Dear Lou,

We know you will find comfort through your faith and many friends. E.M. was loved and so enjoyed a good full life. He gave much in helping others. Our sincere sympathy to you and all of the family.

Dear Family--I regret that I will not be able to attend the memorial service, but I want to extend my personal condolences. E M was a wonderful man who gave so much to Trinity Medical Center. He was faithful in his service and support to the TMC staff and the patients we serve. E M was truly a part of the Trinity family and we will miss him dearly. I rejoice knowing he is at home with the Lord Jesus Christ...Blessings always...John Simms

We have so many wonderful memories of Rog, all the way back to the 70's! Good memories never fade, and his kindness to everyone will never be forgotten. What a blessing he was to so many people.

Lou, we love you and wish that we could be there with you.

Mike and Martha Stout

Dear Lou,

May the memories of your happy and loving life together help you through this difficult period. Rog was so fortunate to have been able to stay at home surrounded by so much love until he passed on.

I will always remember his gentleness and humor. He was indeed a wonderful gentleman.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and the family.

Love,
Shirley

Dear Lou and Family, We were sorry to hear of your loss. May all your good memories bring you peace. You have our deepest sympathy.

Lou, your email was the first notice I had of the passing of E.M. You know you have my prayers and thoughts and yes, your 'many good memories' will help you through this time.

E.M. was one of a kind and will truly be missed. I admired him for his wisdom, kindness and most of all his humor. He once told me when I retire never sit down to rock as I would grow old faster. Thanks E.M. and special prayers to his family.

Dear Lou and family,
I've mostly known OF you, not really been closely associated with you. I know that E.M. was a fine man and know that he will be dearly missed by all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am Lonnie and Viola Wensel's ex-daughter-in-law. I know that the Wensels enjoyed their friendship with you both for many years.

Gloria Wensel Cain

My prayers and thoughts are with you
