In Loving Memory of John. R. Rogers (12) died through murder on 4th July 1996.
Just to say that i miss you my angel, more than words could ever describe.
He was found in water, after a 24 hr air and land search having being beaten by his own golf club
down a 3/4 mile ravine suffering 49 seperate injuries, the perpetrators of this heinous crime, walks
free today on the street admonished of shame through mental health issues, unsupervised.....
I hope that you are resting in peace, my wee bulldozer, We always called you that, it was our family
name for you ( thank you lovely Elsie) because whilst in your walker pen ( and with my best
ornaments rattling on the tray! we had to look both ways in case you came out of nowhere and charged
at us LOL) you never were one for standing still, full speed ahead that was you!!!. part of me will
always be missing without you my baby, I wish i could have been there that day to save you. Just one
day in time.... I will always love you and remember you the way you were.. PERFECT in every way, my
boy, a beautiful son, a smiler, always helpful, just a lovable wee rogue with such a sense of
humour!.. always there for EVERYONE! xxxx
Will see you at heavens gate when it is time, When we WILL finally be together, once again, at
last....And we WILL know justice at the end. YOU fly high my angel.... touch that sky :)
Love Mum xxxxx

Hello Lynsey,
It is Graeme here, both Kirsty and I remember you.
Thank you for your remembering our brother
With love ((((xxxx)))
Hello Lynsey xxxx
It is so good to hear from you! xxx
How are things with you? it is great to hear that you are well you know, i know that I smile when i see you all 'getting on with life' thank you so much for knowing John, Berryhill was a good school was'nt it? They gave us soo much care and his trophy is still presented every year still.
Please don't be upset with his passing, I don't think he would have wanted that and those that are responsible? well what comes around goes around darling. Take him with you wherever you go girl, i feel that he is always there with us, and i take great comfort talking to and finding out about those that knew him.
Hope that you are safe and staying well my angel and that you and your family are as happy as you possibly can be
All my love sweetheart, take the greatest of care, my care to you and your lovely family ((((((xxxxx))))
Always in my mind....
The death of John has haunted me since the day it happened. I went to Berryhill with him and played football the day before he went missing. No-one wanted him to go in their team so I gave him a yellow bib and invited him into my team. I originally lived at 2 Laurel Drive (facing right onto the school) but my parents moved to England in 1998 so Ive been here in Nottingham ever since. The morning he went missing, George the janitor shouted my mum over the wall coz she was outside hanging the washing out and he asked her if she has heard or saw anything of 'wee john rogers.' my mum hadnt so straight away I was feeling worried. Later as time went on and no1 could find him we went to my nanas house which is in Coltness and I remember people with search dogs and yellow high viz jackets on walking around the fields looking for him then I distinctly remember hearing a whistle being blown really loudly and they had found Johns body in the river. A feeling of numbness and fear swept through me and for some reason I felt that a part of me had gone with him, I still do til this very day. I didnt know him very well or probably even at all but the death of John really really haunts me and I think of it at least once every day of my life. I have dreams quite often and I too think that Quigley and Bobo was responsible but for them to walk free is not even worthy of me putting into words. I have been left scotland now for nearly 10 years and I still remember this like yesterday. I even still remember that his mum is Linda and his bro and sis Graham and Kirsty. The whole john rogers murder really toook a grip on me and I just want to you know (johns mum) if you are reading this that I may be a complete stranger to you but you have my love, support and heartache for John, you really do. I think of him all the time and how he was stolen, tragically. I hope you are coping these days. All my love, Lynsey Wilson
Many Many Thanks
Thank you everyone for all your lovely candles that have been lit and for your sincere love and comfort, bless you all
