I have never met you and I just wanted to let you know that I have good memories of my father even though he was not there for me the majority of my life. He would not know me and I would not know him. I am not writing to hurt you-just the opposite. I am in prayer for you and I forgive both my father and you. May the Lord bless you and keep you through this difficult time.

Debbie, I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you. I enjoyed working with Rodney. He always had a joke or a smile. He WILL be missed.just remember he's up there looking down, fussing and cussing because he hasn't got the garden planted yet. hope that brought a small smile. take care.
