Dear King Family

I am SO sorry for your loss. I just can't beleive it. I just found out yesterday. I am heartbroken, He was such a great person and so young. I went to school with Terrill (T.C) Rogers c/o 94 and it was such a pleasure to have known him. He always had something crazy to say to make me laugh and he was such a good spirited person. I know in my heart that God has taken my friend home. I just lost my father this year and I can truly say that the only place you will find comfort after such a great loss is in Him. I will keep you in my prayers. May God keep you and your family in his loving care





Sincerely

I would like to send my most heartfelt prayer out to Terill's family at this time. I went to school with Terill at Rogers. The loss of a loved one can be extremely devestating, and no amount of words can ease the pain that you are feeling at this time. Stay strong in the Lord, lean and depend on HIM, and know that Terrill is in a much better place.



May GOD Bless you and Keep you.

Hi, Ms. King and Family.



Jeanette e-mailed me the link to TC's obituary yesterday morning, and called me yesterday afternoon to make sure I got it. When she told me he was 30, it made my back hurt a little (^: causing me to feel my age a little more, upon hearing he was already that old--even though he was yet too young to die). I will always remember him as that bright and shiny faced little boy that lived 2 doors down, and then grew up to eventually be a fine young man.



I am deeply sorry for your loss, and sorrowful that I could not be their to offer my condolences in person--especially in light of your kindness to us when Mom passed away.



God Bless You In Your Grief--And Also In Your Joy, As You Will Recover And Come To Remember Him Fondly...With Smiles And Laughter, Instead Of Tears.



Sincerely,

Marvin D. Johnson

MAY YOU FIND COMFORT IN THIS TIME OF SORROW. TERRILL WAS SUCH A GOOD, KIND HEARTED PERSON. THERE WAS NOT ONE TIME THAT I WOULD ASK HIM TO DO ANY THING FOR ME, THAT HE REFUSED TO DO. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS MY STEP-SON, I ALWAYS FELT THAT HE WAS MY SON. HE AND I HAD A SPECIAL SAYING. I CALLED HIM BIRD LEGS AND HE CALLED ME ROY. I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS ALLOWED TO CALL HIM THAT NAME, AND IT REALLY MADE ME FEEL GOOD. WE BOTH ENJOYED THIS SPECIAL BOND. T.C. WILL BE MISSED, AND ALWAYS LOVED. I KNOW THAT HE IS SMILING UP IN HEAVEN, AND ONE OF GOD'S ANGLES. OUR PRAYER'S ARE ALSO WITH TRINTY. MAY SHE FIND STRENGTH AND COURAGE, AND ALWAYS KNOW THAT HER DAD IS WITH HER IN SPRIT AND IN HEART.

LOVE,

THE ROBINSON FAMILY

Lem and Jan,

I was heartbroken when I heard about TC but my mind went to the many memories of him. For instance, remember 'Shouting John'? I'm looking for the video of him playing the deacon - a classic!

Just know that God never leaves us comfortless, He's with you always.

You are in our prayers
