No reason for sorrow, no reason to cry, look towards tomorrow and I'll tell you why my memories of you and yours of me are filled with love and laughter forever. You'll see no reason to worry, nor question God as to why you have lost me. No reason to say good-bye. It's time for my journey home, a beautiful and peaceful trip that I must make alone. So just be strong and keep a smile, we'll only be apart for a little while. The love I've known is a very special part, the love I've shown came straight from the heart. I leave you now to go on my way to a wonderful place where.we'll be together someday. No reason at all as you can see, I'm with my Lord, He'll take care of me.

The family wishes to express their deepest appreciation and sincere thanks for all acts of kindness shown to them in their time of sorrow.

Hilda Larue Rogers was born May 10, 1953, in
Darlington, South Carolina to Jessie and Fannie L. Rogers.
PROCESSIONAL
Hilda was five years old when her family relocated to New York City. It was here that she attended school, raised her two sons and began working for the New York City Human Resources Administration. She was a dedicated employee for twelve years.
SELECTION SCRIPTURE...............................................................Psalm 23
Hilda's illness caused her to suffer for many years, but you never heard her complain. She always had time for you whether you were family or friend. She went above and beyond the call of duty. She was there to listen. She gave unselfishly, and she was the life of all gatherings. Hilda was LOVE. She will remain forever in our hearts.
She leaves to cherish: two sons, Steven Edward and Stanley Kyle Rogers; a daughter-in-law, Jeanna; three grandsons, Caprice, Tercel and Marquis Rogers; a loving mother, Fannie L. Rogers and father, Jessie Rogers; two sisters, Vonzella and Julie Rogers; three brothers, Jessie, Jr., Vernon and Daniel Rogers; two sisters-in-law; one brother-in-law; nine aunts; four uncles; cousins; and a host of other relatives and friends.
Our gift from God is who we are
PRAYER OF COMFORT ..........................Evangelist Barnes REMARKS .......................................................Denise Tolbert CONDOLENCES OBITUARY SOLO EULOGY ..........................................................Bishop Barnes
Our gift to God is what we become.
