Condolence to the loving family of William (Dee Dee) Rogers III~ gentle giant-prayer warrior! Praying that you'll be surrounded by God's comforting love and filled with the peace that only He can give. William and I really met at " Carver High Class of 1967 Meetings" in 2016. He was always ready to lend a helping hand before and during meetings, events making donations and especially planning our 50th Class Reunion-2017-Class Historian. He was very, very proud of his family commitment to the church, community and his retirement from the Post Office -so he could serve more. William will definitely be missed! Peace, I leave with you; my peace I give you. John 14:27

Dear family, we were deeply saddened to hear of the demise of your loved one. Ecclesiates 3:1-2,3:4 informs us that "to every thing there is a season. A time to be born, and a time to die." A time to weep, A time to mourn." However, we should rejoice because Psalm 30:5 reminds us that "weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning." Matthew 5:4, Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted." Although your hearts ache during this season of change, there's comfort throughout God's Holy word to cling to. May God wrap you in his faithful love and comfort you with his word. Your loved one has gone to his eternal home. Eternity with the Lord will be more wonderful than we can ever imagine! You have our heartfelt sympathy, love and prayers. The Henley Family

I want to express my sincere condolences to the dear family of Mr. William. He was a mail carrier at my office some days and brought joy and along with the mail each time he delivered! I will miss him so much and wish I could meet you all but I have a work event preventing me from attending. I will be praying for each of you knowing the huge loss you are experiencing. God bless and I look forward to seeing William in our Heavenly home!

Dear family, we were deeply saddened to hear of the demise of your loved one. Mr. Rogers leaves behind his love and legacy. Cherish the sweet memories of him and the time the Lord allowed you to be together. Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, 3:4, informs us that "to every thing there is a season. "A time to be born, and a time to die. A time to weep and a time to mourn." However, we should rejoice because Psalm 30:5 reminds us that "weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning" and Matt. 5:4 says "blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted". Although our hearts ache during this season of change, there's comfort throughout God's Holy word to cling to. May God wrap you in his faithful love and comfort you with his word. Your loved one has gone to his eternal home. Eternity with the Lord will be more wonderful than we can ever imagine! You have our heartfelt sympathy, love and prayers. Cecil, Dorothy (Itscy) Gray, Mother Henley and family.
