Sherry was not the only vicitm and i think a furthur interview with his mother and family would be in order. Roger was a good man and father!!..He was also a good brother and friend!! He was the victim of Sherry too! Yes what Roger did was wrong but he was not the only one at fault here! Sherry stole $13000 off of him. I just think the other side of the family needs to have their time to tell their story as well as hers. Not to mention that they only knew Roger for about 3 months so how can they know everything about him.

This might be a better time to mourn the loss of this couple than to count their sins, especially on a public forum. All you can accomplish is to cause even more pain to those who loved them.

I'm sorry for the two lives that were lost here. They both loved and was loved by many. It seems to me that you are blaming Sherry("that sorry user/thief just drove him crazy") then you say Dear God please help his family. God is not a condeming God. During this time of loss we should pray for both families in mourning.

I am sorry that this family is going through this. I know you say it wasnt like him, but unfortunately people keep and hide secrets all of the time. It may not have been like him, but in the end it was him. Again, I am sorry for the family here -ALL- of the family involved.

You should pray for Sherry's young daughter, brother, sister and parents. While you are singing this psychopaths praises, maybe you would like to know that he also had 2 other restraining orders against him from 2 other women, and the one Sherry had on him would make 3.

Your brother was a murderer, lier, and thief. Just face the fact's little girl. It's to late to act like you care now.

Thank you friend of sherry for sheding a little light on the subject. The police reports are there for anyone that wants to know the truth. I will be praying for sherry's daughter, as well as rogers children. They are the one's that will be suffering for a long time to come.

Thank you Jess, glad to see someone else can see the big picture here. All she can be blamed for is bad judgement in getting involved with this person.

He busted her ribs, she said if you hit me again I'll leave. He smashed her eardrum, she left, filed for divorce and he didn't like it. Hothead obviously.

don't believe u.i don't care what u say .he has paid for what he has done .please just leave him along .he is gone, there is nothing else to be done.i shouldn't have said those things .i not that kind of person ever.i'm just hurt so bad i needed someone to blame. its not helping anything to put ever one of them down or put the blame on ever one .it wont bring them back. if it would, i would just say blame me so they both/ could still be here.i'm just going to keep on crying till i can't cry anymore .see beside roger no one knew that i love him .i had to lash out someway. i was in love with him for the last 2 years.i wish i could have took her place. i would have been glad to left this world with him.i wouldn't be here hurt /crying because i miss him so . and i know all of his family /friends are hurting the same way.so i quit i'm not going to put blame anymore.God will .
