To Lemmie Rodgers, Jr. and family,
Losing a child has got to be the worse pain a aren't could ever suffer. God's "plan" for Juan was for Juan to safe in "His" arms; and although we all shed tears over his passing, we have to allow for God's Will to be done. Stay Strong.

To the Rodgers Family:

Life.....so fragile, Loss....so sudden, Heart....so broken,...in the wake of such a loss, we are haunted by things we don't, and may never understand. Yet the solace we seek may not come from answers. So we look for comfort in the belief of love's everlasting connection. May that love lift you and hold you close, and give you peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all!
