I wish I knew this site was here earlier.

Rod, I wish you knew how many lives you've touched in a positive way. I miss your laugh and your corney jokes. Now, I don't have anyone to call me Mz Sinatra or to tease with plastic spiders. Rest easy my friend, there aren't any of those creepies where you are.... Because of you, I am choosing to remember all the fun times. Because of you!!!

As I reflect on the years that I spent with Rod in middle school and high school, through countless hours of band rehearsals, football games, concerts, and proms—his million- dollar smile remains an imprint on my heart.

Eternal love to you, Rod.
