A reception will follow at Crown Lutheran Church. In lieu of flowers, please make contributions to Crown Lutheran Church, 1501 NW 90th Street in Seattle.
We became acquainted with Mrs. Roo in February of 1992 when our family of five moved back to Seattle to assume a ministry position at the Philadelphia Church. With the assistance of a mutual friend and real estate professional, Marion Aag, Mrs. Roo graciously opened up beautiful accommodations for us with affordable arrangements. She made a joke when we first met her that we might ”rue the day” that we met her, but of course, the relationship was quite to the contratry — she was indeed a blessing to us at a very important transition time in our lives. She took a ”risk” on this young family and we are so grateful that she did. It was a lovely two years for us there as we were close to work and close to the Loyal Heights school for our boys.
I like to consider our relationship with Mrs. Roo as a providential one, not only for those two years, but also in the fact that we then purchased her son Gale’s house — where we live to this day.
We honor her memory and are thankful for the blessing that knowing her has been to our family.

Dear Gale, I am sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. LeRoy told me how close you were. My deepest sympathy to you and your daughter.
