ROD IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR AND ONE DAY SINCE YOU LEFT US AND I HAVE MISSED YOU EACH DAY. YOU WAS SUCH A GOOD FOOTBALL PLAYER. I REMEMBER YOU CATCHING THAT PASS AND RUNNING AWAY FROM THE DEFENDER AND SCORING A TOUCHDOWN. I WAS SO PROUD OF YOU. THEY NEVER THREW ENOUGH PASSES TO YOU. THATS WHY WE LOST GAMES. I CHECK YOUR OBIT OFTEN AND TALK TO YOU. MUCH LOVE BYE FOR NOW DAD

Rodney this has been a difficult time with it being the anniversary of the time you were admitted to the hospital last year. We all miss you so much. We live you with all our hearts. We remember all the great memories we have with you yet are sad that you are not here with us anymore.
Please keep an eye on the kids as they grow and move on in their lives.
Love you and miss you every day
