You were a great man Rodney and will be deeply missed…RIP!
I am so sorry to hear of Rodney’s passing. He can now be reunited with his parents in Heaven although even the Lord will find it difficult to distinguish between he and Uncle Jack. Rest in peace Rod.
RIP Rod. Your suffering and pains are over. May God welcome you home and give comfort to all whom you left behind
Wanted to say to everyone sorry for your loss. I met Rod when I was 15 Years old and had many memories with him for the next 11 years. I grateful he is no longer suffering and I am praying for him and his family and friends who are grieving.
