I met Rogier in 2008 at Cornell University. We immediately became friends, and in the six weeks we spent at Cornell we developed what I considered a very dear friendship. While I haven't seen Rogier since that wonderful summer, I kept in touch with him regularly, always shooting back the same jokes we enjoyed in 2008. I had hoped to visit Rogier in South Africa soon, and I wish I could have even sooner. He is missed, and there is a space in my heart for Rogier that can never be filled by another. Peace be with you, Rogier. We miss you dearly.

  2. Karen, it was taken at Lake Cayuga in Ithaca the day Rogier, Stephanie, Annie and I went wine tasting. This was outside the winery where we had lunch. Rogier went down to the water's edge, and I snapped this picture.
