Maggie Slater Rogers

“And God shall wipe away all the tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be anymore pain”

-Revelation 21:4

On occasions like this, it’s hard to put into words the deep feeling we have had for one who was beloved by all who knew her. Today, we have stopped our regular work to pay tribute to Ms. Maggie Mae Slater Rogers. She had no fear, for she knew her Lord so well and knew that He would take care of her all the way. What power our Lord has in time of trouble, and how wonderful it is to lean on him when there is no one else who understands how deep is our grief.
