Also thank you to her loving roommate Barbara and how they supported and prayed together up until she met Jesus in Heaven.God answered her prayers and took her home. Her utmost prayer is the invitation for You to know Jesus and have a personal relationship with Him. By ASKING JESUS INTO YOUR HEART.

Dorie Kenitzer says
“Gramma Rogers” was my son’s first Sunday School teacher. The first memory verse she taught him at age three; “I am a child of God.” When we would ask Robert to memorize and repeat his Bible verse, he would say “I am a child of Gramma Rogers.” That tells me that Gramma Rogers was a very good friend of God. I know she is where she has longed to be for many years. We will all miss her! She was a remarkable woman! She was everybody’s Gramma.

Mrs. Rogers was one of the most influential people in my growing up years. She had so much love for her family but also had love for all children, including neighborhood kids who never wanted to go home. I learned how Mothers are supposed to be.

Such a joy Gramma was to visit with at the Villa. She was so sharp with a wit just as sharp!! We had a special connection being “neighbors” and our long time ago old people connections!! I could see her peacefully fading away before she sadly relocated . Thank you for moving her in with us!!!! She was a blessing to each of us ! I treasure all of our visits that occurred every time I was in the building.
