Laura Jane and Dale were so special to Roger and our family. I thought of Laura Jane like a family member. I remember the first time I met Laura Jane; she visited me in the hospital after having our second daughter Catherine (19yr’s ago). She was always a friendly face and had a beautiful smile and taught me so much about being a Methodist. I will miss her deeply. My prayers are with the children and their families.

David, Rick, Don & families,
Love and condolences to you each one from me and my Bagley boys. I grew up at Huntington Ave with Dale & family. I lived across the hall from Laura Jane when we were all at Hendrix. They were old and dear friends. Our boys used to go to each other's birthday parties. Since I left Jonesboro in '95 to be a housemom at U of A, I've stayed in touch with Laura Jane on email. I will miss her...but I am thankful she is not sick and miserable as in the last 3 mos. Rest in peace, old friend. I love you. Hugs to you guys and your families. xo

Laura Jane and Dale were two of my favorite people. When I first married and had babies they helped me clothed my family by charging clothes.
I am so sorry for the boys loss. This is the way the Lord meant for it to me. I will always remember your family.

May she rest in peace.

We will miss her smiles. We enjoyed knowing she and Dale through the years. I will miss her slicing pound cakes for the CFA.
