    To the Rodgers Family, may you always remember the fun times that you’ve shared with your father. Mr. Arthur was a devoted member of the Mitchell Chapel Church Family and the Pittsboro Community serving in many capacities. He was a man of God. I pray that God continues to uplift you during these dark days and remember to keep the sun shining in your hearts.
