Love and miss you. You are definitely here in spirit. God had so many plans for you even though we weren’t ready God was. Niss he loved you more than life itself and how could he not, you are his little twin. Rod thank you for always giving little man love and most of all blue bell ice cream.

It is never easy to lose someone however there is a great deal of comfort in this recorded promise.
Proverbs 10:7 The memory of the righteous one is due for a blessing.”
Something that gives us great comfort is the Bible truth that death is not the dot or period at the end of a sentence, but rather the comma or pause because our dear loved ones will live again. We know that we will see our loved ones again because the beautiful promise recorded at Revelation 21:4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” What a truly special day so close at hand to be able to embrace our loved ones again!
thinking of you all.
Nissa, I am sorry and send my deepest condolences. Your Father came by my house not a week ago. I was stunned to see his obituary and greatly saddened. Your Father was a fine man. He was looking forward to the motorcycle trip you were both planning on taking in the near future. He spoke highly of you; and I could tell by his stories, you both shared a special bond.
This past Christmas I made a fruitcake and gave it to him. His praise of that fruitcake was just everything to me. I appreciated the friendship we shared, and will miss him stopping by to see me. It is a loss for everyone, and especially for you. I am so sorry.
May the love and support of your family and friends help ease the pain of your loss. God bless you.
I am so sorry for your loss, the guys at Hajoca are at a loss for words. Prayers and thoughts for each of you. RIP Rod your smile will never be forgotten

My deepest sympathies. My prayers and thoughts are with the family.
Sincere Condolences to all the family.
Such an awesome guy!
Nissa,
Here is a big warm hug! Words can not express the pain or loss. As the shock wears off, take comfort in those around you.
There is a favorite Carley Simon song that says so much….
Life is eternal and love is immortal
And death is only a horizon…
We are limited only by our sights.
Love, hugs and prayers to you and your family.
Ann Davis
