To the Miller Family,
Please accept my condolences for your recent loss. I have many fond memories of Rodney during my youth spent with Troop #94: the weekend hikes, scrap drives, winter and summer camps. I still marvel that he willingly spent a week's vacation during the summer with us at Camp Tuckahoe. He was such a positive role model and was able to relate to we boys so well due to his leadership skills and friendly demeanor. And yes, he did have a great laugh!

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Barb and Family,

So sorry to learn of your loss. May the peace of the Lord be with you.

Rod & I went way back to Shiloh Elementary School (lived actoss the road from each other & same class), school patrol, soft ball, Boy Scouts, etc. Rod was an usher for our wedding.

Most recently, we would get together for the Shiloh class breakfast reunions. We really enjoyed the reminiscing.

I know he is at peace with his Lord and Savior in Heaven. God's continued blessings & comfort as you go through this difficult time.

Our Love, Joe and Marie House

Dear Barbara and Family,
I was so sorry to read of your great loss this morning. Rodney was one of our favorite people at Pru. He was always so friendly and had a joke or a story to tell and a great cantagious laugh. I have many good memories of Rodney as I am sure you do and they always help us through these difficult times. I am so sorry for your loss.

In Sympathy, Joan Vaughn


Steve, Yor were a good teacher and I am still learning on the computer.
