Pete & family, I wanted to offer my deepest condolences regarding the loss of a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and other special relationships Wendy offered to the rest of us. I've been out of touch for many years but Pete told me the story that made me cry after hearing about Wendy's battle to stay with us. I realized that Wendy was someone who was cherished by all who knew her. She was a warrior who faced a new battle every week with incredible odds. Her husband Pete and family were there for her. True family sticks together in bad times and Pete, children, and the rest of the Rogers did just that. She will be in all our hearts and missed by all. Stay together and be strong for each other. - Posted by: Bob Ivkovic (Friend) on: May 23, 2017
