High Point

Proverbs 18:22
“RIH My Good Thing”

After 36 years together and nearly 30 incredible years of marriage with the love of my life, and 20 years as the most incredible mom, God called my wife, Kenar “Melinda” Rogers, home to glory on the morning of January 12, 2025. She fought the Good Fight of Faith, battling Glioblastoma Brain Cancer and Overcoming it twice over four years. She transitioned so peacefully with her husband & daughter by her side.
—death hath no victory here!
