To your family, Sister Rogers-Merrill,
I want you all to know how dear your mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother is to me. She taught me the gospel. She encouraged me when weak. She nourished my testimony and helped it to grow. I must have been special to her, too, because, I know she was here last night. This is how I was prompted to google her name because she knew I wouldn't be strong enough to call and hear that she had passed. I know she's at peace and enjoying her rewards. I love her and I always will. I pray that you all are comforted by the gospel that she so dearly loved.
