RIP Rod! I will always be greatful to you for sharing those long drives to Chicago on weekends to see the "girls"! Sorry, I was alway late to get started on the trip up & also on the return trip home. I loved your "Grand Prix" .. It had the power. Best to you Linda, Matt, Fallyn, & the Knight family.

So glad I could make it down to spend some time with my sister Linda as I happened to be at a natural health and nutrition conference in Indianapolis that started Friday. I cut it short and left the conference Saturday morning. Unfortunately I won't be able to stay for the service as I have been away from my family since Thursday October 30 and I rescheduled my flight to leave Wednesday morning for Arizona from Midway Airport in Chicago. ONLY the Lord knew that so I could be here for Linda!
My condolences to the Knight brothers and family..
Much love
