Balloons For Roger Nelson

[tadbad 0]

Let's all join together and make sure that we grant Roger's wish for balloons!! I know many of you cannot make it to the service. If you would like your memory of Roger placed in a balloon...please email it to me at [email protected]. I will make sure it is placed in a balloon and presented at the service.

Our founder, builder, brother and father of
what and who is Skydive Chicago has left us
Memorial Service will be here at Skydive Chicago, Monday, June 16th, 2003
Memorial Jump is at 12:00 p.m.
Services following at 1:00 p.m.
(Outside if weather permits)

Everyone is invited to attend and stay as long as you wish.
Your prayers are greatly treasured.

Appropriate dress would be appreciated, show your colors,
wear the SDC logo or that of your home DZ.
DZ casual is the dress code for the day.

Roger wanted balloons
Missy is asking everyone to write down a 'favorite memory' of Roger (be it funny, fond, or what-have-you) so she and Rook can keep them in a scrap book. It would be a great thing to have everyone show up with a balloon (no helium, filled with your own air!) with that piece of paper inside the balloon. We will collect all of the balloons, eventually pop them all and give the pieces of paper to Missy.

Hey Karla, good idea to have people that cant make it email you. I'm just scared you're gonna get overwhelmed with emails, so i'll offer to help. Since i'll also be at the service people can PM me or email me their memories too.

If i don't make it to SDC this weekend, i'll see you for sure on Monday.

I'm willing to help you out too with whatever you need. Should be there all weekend, with the exception of a couple hours Sunday night. If you don't see me in the hanger come check out the trailer.

Come on guys, even if you just met him once. Missy would love to hear about it. I think this balloon thing is an awesome idea. Lets show roger what a difference he made to all of us.

I plan on making the SDC service. My home DZ Skydive Houston and what I hear several other DZ's are planing memorial jumps for Roger at the same time on Monday.

Just to remind people to keep the memories coming. Send those memories to me or Tadbad before you go off to the dz this weekend.
