I remember Ricky as I was a member of New Jerusalem once, I was on the ministry staff and I heard of this lost from another ex member. Very sorry to hear of this lost and may the family receive strength through the Most High of Israel.

As friends and family we sometimes grieve over the loss, for we miss our friend and loved one so deeply and their absence has left a great void in our life. But, we must also rejoice that their journey is over and they have found a new life with God in Heaven in a place unlike any place on this planet. God tells us that there is no sorrow, no tears, and no pain in Heaven. Only JOY.  For this reason, we must be able to find that part within ourselves that can rejoice for them. Yes, even in our grief.

For this reason, we must also make preparations so that our destination is the same, even though the trip may be long and hard. There is a grand reunion being prepared up there and you WILL see your loved ones again. In the meantime, be sure to enjoy your
trip, trusting in Him to lead and guide you every step of the way. It's MUCH more peaceful than trying to travel alone. Be comforted. Be encouraged. Beleive there will be a great REUNION one day!!!

To the rogers family Ricky was a great man. he was alwas helping someone out. i am sorry for your lost my prayes are with u an your family . ricky you will be miss very much.

I too have lost a love one this year and it is very hard to except somethings, but my prayers are with you.

We are Praying for you cousin in this lost,may the Lord strengthen you through the Power of the Holy Ghost,We love you.

If the phrase "one of a kind" was in the dictionary, the name Lawrence Rogers would be the definition and a picture of him and his 10,000 watt smile would be there as well.  Rick was talented, unique, generous, and caring.  I feel so blessed to have known him. The memories will never fade away.  To Pastor Rogers and the entire family, I LOVE ALL and my prayers are with you.

There are no words that are comprehensible at this time to express my feelings at the passing of Ricky. To Apostle Rogers and family my prayers and thoughts are with you. I leave you with this " lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle".

What can I say about a person who gave his all and asked nothing in return. I am so grateful for knowing Ricky which seems like short while. God allowed Ricky to become a part of our life for a brief moment and I will cherish his friendship. He was a light on earth for such a short time I believe he had so many things to accomplish  and it was  as though he recognized that he like all of us have a limited amount of time. My closing thoughts is a quote from the late Dr. Berry Sr. "Sometimes when things happen we can not pray our way through we must Praise our way through." Ricky you are truly missed.

Ricky had become a beacon for our family during our most trying time. Always lending a helping hand and a encouraging word while giving orders at the same time.He often expressed the work God had for him but i guess God decided he was finished with his part. We are deeply saddened and shocked because we will miss him greatly,but also full of joy knowing one day we will glance upon his face once again in eternity.

To my dear classmate, your time here with us has expired and now you have journeyed into eternal life. May you rest in peace
