To the Rogers Family.
Barbara & I would like to extend our condolences, love and support to each of you during this tragic time.
Anthony will always hold a place in our heart as he and the rest of you all seem more like family than friends.
Just know that we appreciate the talks that he had with Brandon during his younger years because the only thing he (Brandon) would ever tell us was that "when he grew up, he wanted to be just like 6-9". (Still haven't figured out yet whether it was the basketball or comedy skills that he wanted to acquire, just know that he inherited them both). As of today Brandon still says that 6'9 is one of the apples of his eyes and he will truly miss him.
We will continue to keep your family lifted in our daily prayers. Remember we are only a phone call away so please don't hesitate to call.
Love always your extended family

To the Rogers family, 6'9 was an angel in my life when I first moved to Memphis. He saw the good not only in me but to the ones he surrounded himself around. I pray that your family will move forward and continue to be the blessings that you have been to not only to me but the others that have come into your life.

To the Rodgers family, to say that I am saddened by the death of a close friend whom I've known and hung out with since childhood is putting it mildly. My prayers are with you for strength and healing. Mr. Eugene West, Jr. and Family

Only God can make us able to bear what appears to be unbearable. Death is difficult to accept, even though we know it is our reality, but unnecessary killing is a hard pill to swallow. Blessed are they that die in the Lord. 1 Thess.4:16-17
