I am sorry to hear of the passing of sweet BJ. My prayers are with each of you in her family at this difficult time. Your Mom was a very special a lady and a big part of my time in the Zeta chapter and in the alum group. I hope your special memories of her will help you find peace in the coming days.

BJ had a loving and gentle spirit. I worked with Dan at LU from 1974-1989 and always enjoyed my friendship with the Rogas family. My love to all the family. Sarah
A kinder lady I never met, Mrs. Rogas had a great impact on me during my collegiate years. Her gentle direction pointed all of her Zeta Ladies in the right direction. I send prayers of peace and comfort to Gale, to David, and all who loved her. I know she will be missed.
Stan and I send our condolences to all of the Rogas family. BJ and Dan were so loving to us through the years. Aside from their wonderful friendship with Dolly and Stanton, they were truly a gift to us too.
We will always give credit to BJ, the matchmaker, who took the initiative to help the new comer in Beaumont meet her life-long best friend. Stan and I were so very blessed and grateful for BJ’s loving spirit. God is welcoming an angel in heaven.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. We were born just over a year apart as nieces to the greatest Aunt and Uncle in the world. Raised as family and always loving “kissin’ cousins”. My heart and love go out to each and every one of you. Sent with so much love and condolences! Anne
So sorry for your loss Gale and Melissa.
