Hi, I am Everly Jade Rogers. You might know my parents, Hal and Jenny Rogers of Lubbock, TX. I am having a Celebration for my Life on Friday, January 12th, 2018 at 2 p.m. at Aldsergate Church in Lubbock, TX (under the direction of Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers). I was born just the other day on January 3rd, 2018. I was born a petite little baby weighing 1 lb 4 oz and was 12” long. I might sound tiny, but I had a personality so big you forgot how tiny I appeared. You might think my life was short because it was 6 days long, but that’s a lot for a tiny little baby. I went to sit in the lap of Jesus on January 9, 2018. Mommy and Daddy taught me a lot during my life. They taught how important prayer is and about God’s will. I also learned what a miracle was. They taught me about love, and let me tell you, I am loved!
Here are some of my family, and I got to meet some of them while I was there, my PaPaw (JT Rogers) of Pampa, TX and my Nana (Tambra Rogers) of Pampa, TX; my ByBy (Mark Boardman) of Lamesa, TX; my SiSi and Poppy (Sarah and Phil Covington) of Snyder, TX. You can tell by the silly names they are my grandparents. I’ve got an Uncle Trey and Aunt Gina Rogers from Pampa, TX. My Aunt Michelle and Uncle Rowdy Stilwell live in Midland, TX. My Aunt Amanda and Uncle Michael Allen are in Snyder, TX; and my Aunt Sarah Covington lives in Ft Worth, TX. I even have great grandparents, and here they are, my Granddad (Ferrell Baird) of Pampa, TX; my Paw (Sanford Boardman) of Lamesa, TX; my Papa and Sassy (Willis and Sally Gresham) of Lamesa, TX; my Papa & Nana (Woody and Shirley Covington) of Lubbock, TX. I’ve got lots of cousins too!
Mommy and Daddy told me to look for some of my family that already live in Heaven. They are my great grandparents, PaPaw and Momay (John Tom and Frieda Rogers), Momay (Barbara Baird) and Nonnie (Patsy Boardman). My ByBy told me great Uncle Quinn Boardman would also meet me there. I had lots of people at UMC NICU helping me out, and they were so kind and good to me and loved me too!
Don’t cry for me because I am loved, but please say a prayer for my Mommy and Daddy!
Love to all,
Everly Jade
