I'm sure you know we lost our precious Rosie. Or maybe I should say, I lost her and you now get to take her for a walk in Heaven. I miss her terribly. Finally got the pictures of all your trophies put up! Miss you always, love you forever.

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.
Aeschylus

Still learning



From: Carrie Dodson Monday, November 6, 2017
Since you have been gone the one thing that hasn’t changed is that I love you more each day. The loss I feel is undiminished by time. Life without you is so hard. The grief remains with the same depth and strength as the love we shared; at times it is the only comfort I know. I miss you. I miss your hand reaching out to find mine when we walked together. I miss falling asleep with you beside me. I miss sitting on the back porch talking to you. I miss your smile, your laugh, your warm heart. I love you always

My husband, Roy Bate Jr. and I want to wish dad. Roy Bate Sr. a very Happy Birthday. You are greatly missed every day. When God took you home he took one of his angels home. You were one of the kindest and loving people I've ever met. You had a heart of gold and was there and would do anything for anyone. We love and miss you Dad, Happy Birthday??????????

I've worked at the Daily Athenaeum for the past 2 years as a student and got to know Roy during that time. Always had an upbeat attitude and always put a smile on everyone's face. He will be missed very very much at the Daily Athenaeum. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this tough time.

I worked for Roy at the Daily Anthenaeum, great boss and even better person.I was so sad to hear of his passing. My deepest condolences to Roy's family. Roy always greeted me with a smile even on the cold snowy mornings no one wanted to be there. Rest in Peace.
