Where do I start!  Sweet, sweet Roman will be missed tremendously.  I have never met and will probably never meet again someone that always has a smile on their face no matter what life throws at you.  I still think back to the wedding at our house when Roman wasn’t quite sure about how things were going and ran back to the house and locked the door behind leaving me locked out of my own house and couldn’t get in to get to him!  Well I had to go through the garage and go through that way.  That memory now is funny but then scared me to death when I couldn’t get to him to console him.  Love you @ will miss your sweet smile always. 

I'm so BLESSED and grateful to have met such a strong, fun, down to earth person. Thanks to the Peery's for allowing me to fit in. May God humbly warm the families hearts and know that  Roman is watching down on us all with no pain. Blessings and Love,

The FINISTER'S

I have known Roman since he was born. I can remember countless”family” outings, from going to the zoo, to birthday parties, to swimming at the pool, to going trick-or-treating on Halloween. Always with a smile on his face. When he was little Becky used to tell him, “ Roman say hi to Angelica,” and then he would say hi. Throughout the years it just became natural to him when I walked through the door, Roman would just say “Hi Angelica”!! I am truly going to miss those Hi Angelica,  as I walk through the doors now. Becky, Jason, and  the whole family my sincere condolences and love!!

To the Ogrodowicz and Peery family, We are praying for you all each day.

Sweet Roman. I never met you but the memory I would like to share is what happened to me when your mom shared the news of your health. I cried. Big fat tears. I didn’t even know you, but I thought of you often. Then something big happened. I realized for the first time ever I was praying for someone I didn’t even know. Not going through the motions of prayer. Actual prayer. Sweet Roman I didn’t know you. But your journey brought me closer to God. That’s huge. One day I will get to meet you sweet boy and that’s amazing. Thank you!

Like many others, I met Roman at Palace Lanes. While he did not say much to me when I would see him, you could tell he was a happy little boy who grew into a happier young man. Through all that Rebecca and Jason have shared during Roman's journey, I felt like I knew him and of course, shared his journey with him. He was always smiling in his pictures that were shared. He brought a smile to my face with all the updates and photos posted. Rebecca, Jason & family, you all have endured such heartbreak and countless medical treatments over the past few years and have done so with such grace, humility and strength. It was an honor to be part of Roman's journey via Facebook posts. You all did everything to make him happy, take care of him and his siblings and live life, no matter how hard it became.  There is so much admiration in that, I can't begin to put it in words. We are sending you all love, support, strength, prayers and hugs as allow yourselves to grieve and learn to live a new normal. Roman was loved to the fullest and beyond. He is your forever guardian angel and will be with you all. He is proud of everything you all did for him. Roman, rest in sweet peace, for you will be forever loved and never, ever forgotten.

I want to say that I’m honored and blessed to have met such a strong, inspiring, young man. All thought I didn’t know Roman like others when I got the chance to talk to him he was awesome , very polite,  full of spirit and joy!! 
You will always be loved, also be missed but You will never be forgotten by the many people you’ve touch or impacted over the years!! 
Roman strong!!!! 


No heart can be prepared for the loss of a son. No words can take away the sorrow you must feel. But hopefully. The cherished moments of Roman will help give you strength in the days ahead.  Forever and always❤️ 

Roman was a student of mine whom I loved so very dearly. Even after leaving Lantern Lane and going on to middle and high school, there was still a very special place in my heart for Roman. One of the things I will never forget about him is how he would script what he saw on the main screen after watching a DVD. =) He had a composition book full of them! I am so glad that Rebecca allowed me to remain connected to the family and that I've also had the opportunity to get to know and love Xander. I am praying for the family. Love you all <3

I had the pleasure of meeting Roman (and Elmo) when he attended Lantern Lane. Rebecca, thank you for allowing Roman to go on the 4th grade field trip with me. Leaving substitute teaching weighed heavy on my heart because I knew I would be missing out on sweet Roman's 5th grade year. 

Rebecca and Jason,
Billy and I are so for the loss of sweet Roman. He was such a sweet, kind abs loving young man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I love seeing the smile on Roman’s face❤️❤️❤️❤️

I met Roman when he was about  11.  It took a little while for him to warm up to me  other than a “hi” or a “thank you”, but when he did warm up, he was so much fun. I would occasionally talk to him about his notebook -which he wrote from memory- about some of the credits from Spongebob.  He would tell me about different directors and voices and I’d tell him that so-and-so also did the voice on Scooby -Doo (or another show).  I don’t think he cared, but he was ALWAYS interested in what I had to say. He would alway make himself at home at our house and that made me happy.  He was always quick with a hug and had a smile a mile wide.  Prayers for his families and love to all that knee him. 

Sadness is here at this time, but joy will come in the future through memories.  My heart goes out to all of the family.  I never had the pleasure of meeting Roman, but the photos show his grandma's likeness.  Godspeed to this newest angel who will be watching over all of you from Our Lord's side.

Kathy and the Ogrodowicz Family,   I'm sending my sincerest condolences to the Family.  May the Peace that comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead.   My thoughts and Prayers are with you.

Deborah Zeno and Family

Dear Kathy, my heart goes out to you I am so sorry for your loss.  My sincerest condolences to your and your family.  God is in control and will never leave you empty.  His grace will never depart from you and his blessings will be there for you and your family always.    Lord please bless Kathy and her family with your strength, comfort, joy, and peace, and keep them under your watchful eye today and everyday Amen.   

My condolences to Romans family and friends.  An angel is now in heaven.  I have known Roman since he was a small child and the years have flown by.  His smile remains with me when I hear his name.  His mom and dad are in my prayers.

I never met Roman but I felt like I knew him well.  My sister, Chrissie Palmer loved him so much.  To her amazement, he fixed my mom’s jukebox for her when he was just a little guy.
She thinks he was about five when that happened.  I wish I had the chance to meet him and I know his parents must be suffering more than words can describe. I’m so sorry for their loss. My sincerest condolences to Mike and Rebecca.
