To the Rodey Family,
I was so sorry to hear your loss, when I arrived back from vacation. I work with Cindy, I do not know you personally but Cindy speaks highly of all of you, and I feel as if I know you. I will be praying comfort for the family because it is a great loss. But I know he has been sick for a while and God has allowed him to be here for 2 more years, and that is a great blessing. Hold on to your Memories and he will always live in your hearts.
