"Thank you for your wonderful combination of hope and humor... Frankly, I was concerned that your humor would not be appropriate. Soon into your presentation, however, I relaxed and realized that you shared not only your very funny stories, but your personal sensitivity and compassion. You made our day, Rog, and we can't thank you enough. I look forward to working with you again!" - Ann Ritter, NA, ThM, Chaplain and Bereavement Coordinator, Tender Loving Care Hospice & Homecare, Garner NC
