Thinking of you and your family Tommy. Your mother was a wonderful person, we have always heard wonderful things about her and the stories I imagine she could tell teaching all the kids at all the schools she taught, educating a lot of our community and surrounding communities. I remember you always mentioning her & checking on her. God Bless you and your family ðŸ™

I taught school with Mrs. Rogers for years and years. In class she was stern and very serious, not to mention, knowledgeable.
In the teachers’ lounge she was smiling and relating funny, entertaining stories! We had many laughs together!
I went to her several times to ask opinions and advice.
She was a very sweet friend and coworker. I will miss her, as all her friends will! ♥ï¸
