Although I was not a close friend, I was always inspired by Niki's strength and courage under pressure. Her smile during tough times was amazing. God bless her family and know that she is missed by many.

Niki held my hand and prayed with me as Heather and I waited for Allan to get home from China with our baby, Joanna. Joanna is 11 years old today. It has been my privilege to hold Niki's hand over the last few weeks. She is so special to us, and I know God has her wrapped in His love.

I was able to get to know her father during her stay at Hospice. He was a loving man and showed true concern for myself and brothers as we were there for my father. I pray that the family get through this time of dispair and moves forward with fond memories of the past.. Sincerely, Chuck Rowe

To the family of Niki Rogers,

I will miss your wife, your mom, your daughter and your sister!

I will miss my friend Niki! She was a dear friend of mine for at least 18 years!! We have shared many pleasant events in each others lives and we have shared many unpleasant events in each others lives. Together we helped each other but I dare to say she helped me much, much more!!!

I will miss her smile and the knowledge of her experience that helped me in my everyday ups and downs!!!
I WILL MISS YOU, NIKI!!!!

I worked with Niki at the library, and feel very fortunate to have known her. Her kindness and laughter were infectious and she was just a wonderful person to be around.

My prayers go to her family and friends. I hope that there is some comfort in knowing that Niki has touched so many people with her strength, family values, and her wonderful outlook on life.
