My dear brother Roger; here is my memories of you! My memory of you goes way back! I was more emotional with you because you teased me really lot. I so remember that old coin I found. I wish that I would have given that to you. So sorry you lost your coin collection. Of course I remember all my brothers hauling hay, milking cows, working in the garden, we shucked alot of corn, peeled alot of potatoes. I remember your tanned body walking home from working for Jay Child, carrying a shovel over your bare shoulder. I remember you made the best french fries! And popcorn! Very good stuff! I remember getting measles with you and we watched The Wizard of Oz together. You bought me a necklace when I got a bad earache. I can still see it in my mind. You were fun to watch in sports. Dad would take me to alot of your ball games. My last softball team I was on was with you! I was somewhat burned out but I still had a love for the game. It was good for me, thanks for that. I remember when you left on your mission to England. I cried, I admit it. When you came home mom was pregnant with Janalyn. I remember your wedding even though it was long time ago. Wow my brother Roger tied the knot! And with a great girl like Jill! I remember your first home in Riverdale, Utah and your first home in Clinton, Utah. Such an active brother, you love nature just like your brothers. Your mailman job goes way back. I remember you delivered mail to where I worked at Marveon sign company on Riverdale road in 1976.
I remember your love of music. If the piano wan't being played, the stereo was.
We watched you and Jill raise four great kids. It was so much fun having diners with your family throughout all the holidays and family gatherings any time of the year. Your my only Army brother; what a great career move for you. I hope you are glad its over. I'm sure it doesn't slow you down any! I remember when you got decked at a basketball game. It was bad enough it required surgery on your cheekbones and eye. Such a stressful time for you but I feel you have put it behind you because I remember all the jokes and laughing about that crazy day in court with Jill. I remember driving to Hyram to tell Stanley what happened. It shook up the whole family.
Last but far from least, I remember your great talks in church. Your mission was a great seed for your strong testimony I see today. Your service in the church goes back a long time. My mind can only think of one statement. "Well done my good and faithful servant". I see more service and callings in your future. May you enjoy retirement one day, Roger Lafe Fisher. Love Colleen Joyce Fisher Chatterton
