In Memory Of
 
Roy Rogers, King of the Cowboys
November 5, 1911 - July 6, 1998
and
Dale Evans Rogers
October 31, 1912 - February 7, 2001

Roy And Dale

They chased and caught the bad guys
Rounded 'em up and brought 'em in
Roy on Trigger, and Dale on Buttermilk
The good guys would always win.

Happy and smiling as they rode
They sang a western song
Kicking up dust and memories
That will last for oh...so long.

I know they're in cowboy heaven
On gold paved trails they ride
Singing "Happy Trails To You"
Forever...side by side.

Happy Trails

Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here's a happy one for you.

Happy trails to you until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you 'till we meet again.

Happy trails to you until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you 'till we meet again.

Written by Dale Evans
(in less than an hour on the back of an envelope)

'I guess Dale and I know pretty well,
 like her song says, that
"some trails are happy ones and others are blue";
 and we also know that when we
have to part, it will be only
 " 'til we meet again."
And that time, our happy trails will be for all eternity.'

--Roy Rogers

Dale planned her own memorial service, and
in the program she left this message.....

"Be happy for me! I am now with my beloved Roy."
