I’m so sorry about Mrs. Rogers I loved her like my own grandmother. I remember most staying with her as she cared for me as my parents Robert and Nancy Baker was working. This saddens me greatly as I just found out today in a Christmas card from Mr. Rogers. I want to tell each of the famliy that heaven truly recieved an angel when she was called home. My parents would like to send there blessings as well I just called my mom to let her know. If there is ever anything we can do to help out in anyway please let us know.

Mama, it has been a year today since God called you home. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about you and miss you. You were not only my Mama, but you were my best friend. I will always love & miss you, but I know you are with the one you served. Heaven truly received an Angel and we lost one when you passed away. I pray everynight & ask God to please tell you that I love you. I know you are happy & healthy now, but your sweet spirit will remain in my heart forever.
I love you Mama
Your baby girl Kathy
Mama, it has now been 2 years since you left us, but it seems as only yesterday. I miss you more everyday & today we will lay Daddy to rest beside you, but only in body as his spirit is with you & the Lord. All the prayers that we prayed for him paid off, because he got saved a few months back because he wanted so much to see you again. I am so thankful that Daddy accepted Christ and is now in Heaven. His little body was worn out from years of hard work and now he can finally rest in peace. I miss you both more than you will ever know, but I will see you again!!!
I love you
Kathy
