My dear Rogers family,
My heartfelt sympathies and prayers are with you at this time. May God give you some kind of peace through this painful time. Thank you Kay Rogers for protecting my son & daughter who now live in Murfressboro during your short time with us in this lifetime. I was just myself recently in Murfreesboro for my daughters wedding when I received a phone call from my mother that my brother Brian Gregg had been shot by a DUI and killed on September 29th of this year. May the Lord hold you in his arms and give you comfort as no one else can during this time.

~~~~~The Broken Chain~~~~~

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name.~~In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.~~It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.~~You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.~~Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the Chain will link again.

A Thankful Citizen

As a motor officer, I am well aware of the dangers we face every day while performing our duties. Murfreesboro is my hometown so it is heartbreaking to read of a fallen sister from my hometown.
I'm sure Kay was doing what she loved to do as we all do. Murfreesboro will affected by her loss. My prayers are with her family and the Department as they go through this difficult time.

My fiancé, Dennis McElderry, was the first law enforcement casualty of 2003. Dennis was a Deputy Sheriff with the Davis County Sheriff's Office in SE Iowa. Dennis died doing a job he loved, just as I'm sure Kay did. It saddens me to know that Dennis was not the first to die in the line of duty, nor will he and Kay be the last to die this way.

Having gone through the pain of losing Dennis I can truly understand and feel the pain that Officer Rogers' family, friends, and co-workers are going through in losing her. My heart goes out to you all. No one can truly understand the pain of loss until they've walked in our shoes. Please know that my thoughts are with you and that you are not alone in your "journey". Should you ever need anything please do not hesitate to contact me. (The Davis County Sheriff's Office will always know how to reach me or write jocelyne1974 at canada dot com)

As a fallen officer "survivor" and a friend, please accept my condolences on behalf of myself and the McElderry family. I never got the opportunity to know Kay but, I am certain she was well respected and well loved. Kay will live on in the hearts of all the lives she touched. You were all blessed to have been able to know and love Kay even for a short time. I pray that Kay, Dennis, and all the other fallen officers will continue to watch over us all as only they can.

Thank you Officer Rogers for a job well done and for helping to make this world a safer place for us all. Please say "hello" to my fiancé Dennis for me.

Wishing you and all those who's lives you touched brighter and better days,

Jocelyne :)

TO: The family; loved ones; friends and department members: A POLICE OFFICER’S PRAYER:--- O, gentle Lord ! Keep the day/night watch with me. As I begin my tour of duty, I ask your protection from all mental, physical and spiritual harm. Sustain me with the knowledge that I am doing your work, endeavoring to keep peace among your people. Help me to be just as I enforce the law without prejudice or favor to anyone. May I be courageous but not reckless in carrying out my duties. Let me respond to all calls with haste realizing that so many are dependent upon me for life and safety. Support me with your consoling power when I am tempted to think no one really cares and that I am taken for granted. Sustain in me the conviction that so many thousands do care and are grateful for my presence. Grant that I may be loyal to my partner and my fellow officers, and that I may back them up effectively when called upon for assistance. Lord, I ask that I may return safely, after my tour of duty, to my loved ones and those who love me. I pray that I may be a good and honorable police officer; and after my tour of duty is over here on earth, may I enjoy the peace and happiness of heaven that you have promised to those who serve you well. AMEN. *** REST IN PEACE ***
