Grandma Aline Rogers

Wes’ sweet grandma passed away on November 20, 2012.  She is such a nice, sweet, kind lady.  Wes and I went to visit them a few times in Albuquerque and I enjoyed being in their home.  She is such a lady.  Grandpa Rogers always took care of anything that a “proper lady” shouldn’t be doing.  They have such a great marriage and relationship – I look up to them in a lot of ways.

She raised an absolutely amazing family.  She has 6 children who are quite remarkable.  They come together like siblings should and have taken care of their parents for quite a while now . . . each flying in for their turn to be caretaker.  Grandma Rogers has 38 grandchildren and 38 great grandchildren who are equally as amazing as their parents.  Almost all of those cousins made it to the funeral because that’s just what they do.  They love and support each other ALWAYS.

We will miss Grandma Rogers.  Her body has endured years and years (8, I think) of dialysis three times a week and so I know she is in a much better place.  We will always remember her sweet demeanor and the example she set & look forward to seeing her again someday.

About a year ago, Wes said he wanted to go see his grandparents knowing that it could be the last time.  He was able to go in March & I am so grateful he was able to do that.

Love you, Grandma.
