Praying for your family that God will give peace and comfort at this time and in the days ahead.
It is comforting to know that Mrs. Rogers was strong in her faith and she is walking with her Lord and Savior in Heaven. She's no longer in pain.

Nan was one of the strongest Christians I know. Her faith was kept until the end. And now she doesn’t need it. She has sight!
