MERCER COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) — A Mercer County mother is on a mission to break the stigma of mental health after her own daughter died by suicide five years ago. Susan Rogers started Chloe's Petals for Hope in honor of her daughter.

"Chloe was just a fun loving, easygoing girl who loved life. She loved to dance, but then, of course, she had her struggles too, and people that didn't live with her wouldn't know that she struggled," said Rogers, the founder of Chloe's Petals for Hope.

More than five years have passed since Chloe's death. The 23-year-old had just graduated from Eastern Kentucky University.

"She would just come up and hug you and it would be so tight and she wouldn't realize how hard she was hugging you, and that's what I miss most," Rogers said.
