Subject: Re: In Memory of Roger Garvey.
I want to thank my friends and for all the kind people who shared their prayers and well wishes for me and family in the pasing of my Soul-mate and Loving Husband Roger Garvey who departed on 2/18/12 to be with our Lord.
It is sad to lose the Laughter and Love of such a marvelous man who made every person He met…SMILE. He’s wacky ways and witty wisdoms will be cherished and truly missed. In rememberance Roger’s joy and lighthearted humor could brighten everyone’s Darkest Days. Devotedly He adored his children and grandchildren who were always in his heart. A hardworking maintenace man at Performance Bike Company in Chapel Hill, N.C. and was known as “Mr. Fix It”.
Although we are sad for the loss of Roger, the desire was not to despair in his demise and dedicate our efforts to fight for the sake of the children who’s life will be cut short and sadly casualities of cancer. Currently we have joined with UNC Cancer Center to continue our campaign to fund-raise and find a cancer cure for the children in the future.
Unfortunately for wife Linda Douglas and Family who lost Roger Garvey, to his battle with lung cancer Compassionately concerned He was Broken-Hearted to see all the children at UNC Hospital. However Roger wanted to help and hence
He’s last wishes were to establish a Charity to Benefit the Pediatic Hematology Unit at UNC. Contributions can to made on Roger’s Behalf and please put a note on Checks “In Memory of Roger Garvey” and appreciate all donations to this worthy cause. Make Checks Payable To; UNC Compensive Cancer Center and Send To: UNC/Lineberger Office of External Affairs, Campus Box # 7295, Chapel Hill, 27599
HOPEFULLY WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE and DONATE TO HELP CURE A CHILD FROM CANCER.
