Oh Lord have mercy!!!! I have been going by Mr. Rogers to visit when I'm in Lawrence and I went by there yesterday (3/26) and the house was cleaned out and I knew Mr. Rogers would not moved unless forced by Terri or he passed away! Checked obituaries online and sure enough I saw this! My heart hurts!!!! All I can say is I had my own mr. Rogers in my neighborhood, right next door for seven years! I will always cherish his wisdom and love for life! I learned a great deal from him! Terri / Steve I'm sorry for your loss but we know that man is with the Lord, kicking it (having a great time)! Terri/Steve please call me 9136208581. I don't know how to contact you ! I love you guys always!
