Comments on: TC has passed on http://tcrogers.wordpress.com/2008/04/13/tc-has-passed-on/ Updates to TC Rogers' condition during this difficult time.

She had always worked for her parents at Petland but decided she needed to get some work experience elsewhere at the age of 17. She worked at the Marriott with TC as a life guard and a receptionist in the spa. She said TC was the best boss! He told her he hired her because of her CTR ring. I had a nice chat with TC at Arzu's beautiful baptism a few years ago. He told me over an over again how wonderful he thought my daughter was and I was impressed with his upbeat and enthusiastic personality. I also remember him telling me how proud he was of his brother Lincoln that he could serve a mission. Jessica asked me if I would attend the funeral as she was in Provo taking her nursing finals at BYU. Jessica is currently working in a hospital and is one of those wonderful compassionate nurses like those you have spoken of who cared for TC. She told me to just google his name for directions and sure enough I found this neat blog. How awsome is it to hear your optimism even in the midst of a very difficult time. I see where TC gets it. I noticed that the church was just minutes from the Petland we just opened on Decatur and decided I would attend the funeral before I went to work. How glad I am that I did. What a spiritual feast it was! Thank you for so lovingly sharing the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the plan of salvation. This will be a journal entry of mine to always remember. TC is a great missionary. Jessi was hoping that I could meet you and tell you that she worked with him. I didn't think I would be able to with all the people that were there. Yet on the way out to my car, there you were and I was glad I got to hug you and tell you. Thank you for your wonderful example and for raising a great son.

Then I kept on thinking about Cliff's story, when he said that TC said "Its a Miracle"....TC is on his mission, and I know that he will be amazing just as he was when he was with us....I will miss him very much...but also I am happy that he finally got to go on his mission. My prayers are with the Rogers Family at this time, and if there is anything that I can do for you...Please let me know.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, and I hope I can help with anything I can. Cliff, if there is ANYTHING the deacons in our ward can do for you, just name it. I never knew TC...., but there have been many who did, 80 not knowing him,..... 100 people responded to the terrible news. Judging by the family, I could tell TC was a great kid. He has wonderful parents, and I know they will meet again as a family in Heaven. If he hasn't told you, Bro. Hayden, the deacons, and his scout troop (blazers) will plant flowers in your yard Tuesday. Best of wishes... -Alex Mohlman (Weird Al) P.S. Bro.

He was a wonderfully kind young man. My husband and I knew him through Jonathon Fuentes, who is my brother. T.C. and "the crew" spent some time with us out on the lake a few years back , and everytime we were around him, it was like hanging out with my own brother. He will be truly missed. Our prayers are with you all. We know T.C. is with our heavenly father, in paradise. Love Sumer and Mark McPhee We are greatly saddened by the news of T.C.’s passing.

It has been such a treat watching your children grow and witness a small part of what your family shares with others. Many times on Sunday dinners at Pat's, it was common to have many cousins for my girls to play and be teased with, you truly saw the 3 D's and their friends blend into one! TC, as with all of your children are so kind and always, always willing to help me and my girls. We pray for you and love you and will always remember the life that he lead and thank you for allowing us to share this time with you.

Leah called us with the news while the older siblings were at Cristopher's house. All of us : Rachael & husband Shane, Cristopher & fiance' Shayla, Michael, Daniel and a few close friends of TC, Chucky, & Matt had been sitting around the table playing games. When Cristopher told us it was apparent how much TC touched each of our lives as the room went very quiet, and we all just said how much we would miss him. Everyone was extremely introspective, and we spent quite some time in silence for him. It amazing how much we all loved him!! I know my parents were deeply saddened by your loss, and as a family we all wish you the peace and comfort that the Savior can give. I know TC made such an impact on all of us who have ever been lucky enough to know him!!! Till we all see him again! We love you TC, and we love you guys, Cliff, Becky, Allan, Lincoln, and Kelsey... Love the Hilsabeck's Rogers Family,

I know God has a plan for all of us though. I also know that the gospel provides so much comfort and answers when we go through trials. I know TC is experiencing things right now that we all will if we live righteously...he is in a good place. As a mother, I am sure the heartache of simply missing him never goes away, but the knowledge of the gospel allows peace. I am so sorry for your loss. Through this blog and all of the comments and stories it is plain to see that he was loved and is still loved by many. I hate this kind of news. I know God has a plan for all of us though.
