Ceci Mitchell wrote a sympathy message

“Carla, and family - I am so sorry to hear about Gloria Jean's passing. Having truly known her my whole life, I was always happy to see her at family reunions and other gatherings. And she sure could play softball! She might have been pint-sized, but she could really wallop a ball and run like the wind back in the day! I think all you Rogers women were good athletes. I'll cherish those memories. My sympathies and love to you all.”
