Elizabeth “Betty” Rogers

Strange how time helps the pain but it never really goes away, missing you mom!

I love and miss you, mom, so much. Your birthday will soon be here and Christmas, how you loved snowmen. I hope to be there soon to visit you with your new headstone. I love and miss you so much. I see signs of you at times, whether it be a cardinal or a feather out of thin air, you are on my mind everyday and always will be.

Always missing you and loving you!!!!

Always thinking of you!!!! Missing you more and more! I can promise you will never be forgotten about as long as I am alive!!!

Mom, thanks for everything! For being there when I was sick! Staying up all night watching me! For all the great meals! For encouraging me to graduate from college! For loving ❤me more than anyone ever could! I love you always!!!!

Mom missing you even more today!!!! Never going to stop missing you!!! Love you forever!!!!

You worried about me always because you loved me! I may not have shown it all the time but I worried about you just as much and could never love anyone anymore!!!

Talked to you at the cemetery today! Want to thank you for being the best mom ever!!! i miss and love you so much! You are appreciated!!!

People, who haven’t lost their mom have no idea how painful it is! Mom I’ve never hurt so bad in my life but you are worth the hurt!!! I love you more than ever!!!

Terrible how many older men and women are put in rest homes! That never happened to you because I would never allow that to happen to you! You spent the last 12 years of your life living with me, my wife, and our four sons! I’ll always treasure that time!

I start the day off the same way, missing you! Some broken hearts never mend! Some tears never end! I know why, my love for you will never die!

Miss you mom!!!

All the words, thoughts, and dreams are empty withou you You not only were a large part of my life, you were the greatest part of my life!!!! No doubt about that!!! You’ll always be in my heart with your unconditional Love!!!

Mom I miss you so much!!

Mom I know you had a good life with me and Stephanie but I wish you would have had a better life when you were young The pain of losing my brother Tony at 17 always haunted you! You showed everybody his picture! I’ll never get over you!

Imagine by John Lennon was one of your favorite songs! When my sister’s radio suddenly started working again that was on the air! Coincidence? I don’t think so!!!! I love you mom!

93 years you lived! But it wasn’t long enough for me!!! No amount of time would be!!!! My wife and I were so lucky to be your caretakers!!! We had a star in you! 12 years 4 months!!!!! Time you lived with us!!! Cherished everyday!!!

Unconditional Love! You gave me that! You stuck with me through my losses and convinced me I was a winner! We didn’t have much but you made us feel rich because you gave us all your attention!!! And you made an egg sandwich taste good!!! You’ll always be in my ❤!!!!!

Few people realize how hard you fought to live the last five years of your life! All the hard work you did in rehab in order to come home to us! You were a fighter mom and nobody will ever replace you in my heart of hearts! I love you!!!

I LOVE YOU MOM!!!!

Going to sleep mom! Been thinking about you all day!!!

Unconditional Love, that was you gave me! No matter how many mistakes I made you were always there for me! Nobody could ever love me like you did!

Can’t say it enough, how proud I was of you! The way you raised us, the way you treated others, and the way you battled you numerous ailments! Still proud and no matter how long I live I will always love you mom!!!!!

Mom I had to leave to get kk back in school. It’s always been the hardest thing for me to do, because I never wanted to see you cry. This is the 1st time that you didn’t cry. I would always say don’t cry, Mom, I love you, we will be back. I will still be back to see you and take care of Dean and Donald, I know that’s what you would want. I love you, Mom

2nd Sunday you been gone! Can’t bear to sit down in your room without you! Wish I could have done more while you were on this earth!

How many times did you say horrible when you didn’t like a tv program or food? Mom on top of all your other qualities you were a comedian! Love you!!!

Nothing compares to you!!!!

Missing you so much! So right we had record rainfall the day you were buried! Regret so much you are not downstairs watching TV with me! Wish I would have done for for you my beloved!!!

Night falls so hard without you my love! Never stop thinking of you

I am completely lost without you and it is the worst feeling in the world! I would gladly give time off my life to give to you! So sorry you are gone! But you live on in the O negative blood that runs through my veins! My children, especially Mason Rogers! You always wanted me to carry on the family name and Stephanie and I did that! Austin, Greyson, Mason, Ryry! They brought you some joy!

Saw your grave today and it absolutely broke my heart! You took such joy in eating, drinking tea, eating fruits and chocolate!

How many old movies did we watch together? The Postman Always Rings Twice, A Place In The Sun, and 10 Rillington Place were 3 of your favorites. You watched them over and over again ! Never growing tired of them! You were someone special mom! And if the world knew you like me the world would love you!!!

Spent the afternoon picking out a tombstone for you! Donna found one shaped like a ❤! Which makes sense because you were my heart, my whole world!!! I love you so much mom!!!

One week since we said good bye and the tears are still falling! I loved you my beloved!

How do you get past the pain of someone you loved so much dying! I can’t imagine how! Mom I will never stop thinking about you! Dreaming about you and if there was some way I could have kept you here with us longer! I love you forever!!!!

Your mother’s kindness and generosity of spirit were overwhelming. She will certainly be missed.
Thinking about you and sending lots of love during this difficult time.
I love you and am always here for you.
She was an amazing woman with the kindest heart and I’m thinking of you.
Please don’t hesitate to ask for anything at all during this time. It’s my pleasure to help out in any way possible.
I’m so grateful that I knew your mother. She was the most wonderful person

Mom, I miss you so much, your beautiful face, your voice, your laugh, everything. I will see you again.

The hospital was not helping you. You were getting weaker everyday. Finally I made the decision to take you out of the hospital. When I told you that you were going home I will never forget that smile! You were so happy! You couldn’t walk when we got you home so Steve Wilson, my wife, and I carried you down the steps to your room! You went right to sleep in your own bed something you said you dreamed about in the hospital! Six days later you died surrounded by the people you loved and who love you! I am so thankful your final moments were spent with us and not in the hospital! You died in your own bed and we got to say goodbye! I love you so much mom!

I think back to March, 2017 when you had cancer! I was so worried I would lose you then! But you beat cancer and lived another 5 years. Losing you is the worst thing that ever happened to me in my life! I am stung and the sting will never go away! I miss you mom! Love you so much! Miss you!

I feel so lost without you!!!! How lucky I was to have you by my side so many years! Then as quick as the night falls you were gone!!! The hole in my heart brings the tears down!!! And they fall and fall but there is no end! How do I survive without you my beloved??? I pray for strength!!!

How do I get over you? I figured something out in the 4 days since you died! I will never get over you! You were always there for me, especially in my darkest hours!!! When I was almost killed at 27 you were by me when I woke up from the surgery! And you there until I got out of the hospital! A week later!!! Your greatness, kindness, generosity, went unnoticed by you! Not by me! I love you so much mom! Going on without you is going to be hardest thing I’ve ever done! I love you my beloved!!! More than words can say!!!!

If words could bring you back I would never stop talking about you! If tears could bring you back I would never stop crying!!! If only I had one more day with you my beloved!!! But I would want more!!!

The night falls so hard without you in your chair, watching tv and waiting for me to join you! I am brokenhearted, never get to have a conversation with you again! Never get to tell you how much I love you! You were a warrior that beat your illness so many times! Courageous! You were my best friend!-

Mom, I cry everytime I think about the wonderful mom I lost!!! I took care of you for over twelve years with my wife Stephanie but it was not long enough!!! 24 years would not have been long enough!!! No amount of time would be! I am crushed by your passing but will find knowing how many lives you touched! I love you so much my beloved!!!
