Story

Thanks for visiting our JustGiving page.

On the 20th February 2025 we had to suddenly say goodbye to our very much loved husband, dad, grandad and friend.

This week we say goodbye at Roger's funeral. We are asking for no flowers but donations to one of the charities very close to Roger's, and our families, hearts - Candles who support Max, Rogers grandson who has Down Syndrome, and many of Max's little buddies. Roger was a familiar face at the school holiday Down Syndrome Candles meet ups and he enjoyed seeing all the families. Roger was very passionate about children with Down Syndrome having a safe place to play and be together including their siblings.

Thank you for your support at this very difficult time.
