Repast – Parker Harrell Center ~ 70 Junior High Drive ~ Baxley, Georgia

The family of the late Richard Luke Rogers wishes to express their sincere

thanks for the many acts of kindness shown them before, during, and after their hour of bereavement. "May God Forever Bless and Keep Each of You." The Rogers Family

Little Did We Know Little did we know that morning that God would call you name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone. For part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are always on our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in

me. In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so,

I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

~St. John 14:1-2~
