Rodney and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I wanted to let you know that she is with Troy now and he is taking care of her along with Jesus until we get there. No one can experience this sadness as you do, Because your feelings are unique and very personal to you. No one can begin to know exactly how you feel, Except to know that sorrow such as yours is deep and real. Know that if you need some comfort and some help to see you through remember you are cared for by all those who think of you.

Thinking of you in your time of sorrow. I still believe that miracles can happen every day,I still think angels sometimes come to wipe your tears away. When night seems darkest, I believe we will see a light shine clear,and when the storm is gone I'm sure the rainbow will appear.
