So sorry for your loss praying for love and peace❤️❤️❤️
I am deeply sorry for your loss, Ms. Glenna. I will dearly miss Mr. Rod, especially our small chats each time I visited with him. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Please let me know if there is anything you need, now or in the future. God Bless.
My heartfelt condolences for your family’s loss. I knew him when I was growing up. He would come to visit us sometimes and have Sunday dinner with us. He had a horse that he boarded at my parents house. He always found some way to make me laugh. I loved to cook and I loved making pies with my Mom. And Rodney loved to eat our chocolate cream pie or coconut cream. He was a joy to be around.
I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Rod when I worked at NW Tob. He would stop in most mornings and have coffee and visit with us. Those were nice times. Prayers for the family.
