View all 40 ReflectionsAllen Rogers was my neighbor and childhood friend. My sister and I would always go to the Rogers home after school til my parents came home and Allen cut our grass. I remember watching the news, hearing the name and seeing the face and I knew immediately. I was in complete shock! I have been in contact over the years with your momma and your brother Brian. All seems to be well. May you continue to rest peacefully. You and your dad both.
