Rogers died a year ago today at the age of 74.

She was on FNC a couple of weeks ago. A cheery, humorous, lovely person. Fred married well.

She reminds me of my Mom after my Dad died. They'd been together for over 60 years, and watching her miss him was excruciating.

Fred was also a minister. I wonder when Andy Rooney will do a commentary trashing him for believing in something as silly and ridiculous as God.
