In tribute to Josette Banzet Roe who went to Heaven on December 4, 2020. Rest in Peace Josette. "This morning, December 4, 2020, Tommy Roe shared some sad news with me. Josette, his wife of 42 years, has passed away. Tommy sent me these words to share on his Facebook page and with everyone": "To all our friends: This morning my little Josette lost her battle with Alzheimer's, a terribly cruel disease. She fought to the end, and her beautiful little body just finally gave out. Now I am left with all the many memories of our forty-two years together. All the time we spent together, the little things we did together and didn't think much about at the time. Now my reflections on those moments are so very special and are coming back to me in vivid colors. All those beautiful times together in France, Germany, Asia, Italy, California, Tennessee, Georgia, everywhere we traveled together. The times she would go with me on one-nighters, traveling from town to town in the Midwest, in the wintertime, in the snow. She absolutely loved it and made it fun. She even bought a hot plate so she could cook breakfast in the mornings in our hotel room. She was always doing her best to make our time together as beautiful as possible. I am such a lucky guy to have had her in my life. As I have said before, I believe God brought us together for a reason, and it is too complicated for me to understand, but I feel so blessed to have shared the gift of Josette's love. I miss her so very much…RIP my love.. When you come close to the end of life, reflections on your journey can be painfully happy, and painfully sad.. T.. "
