To the Rhodes Family,
The Lord is are Shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, he leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me into righteousness for his name's sake Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever
May the peace of God be with you all!
Love
Son and Daughter

Billy -
Although I know you are in a better place, I am feeling selfish because I wanted more time with you. I will think of you every single day. I will remember all the laughs and fun times we shared growing up. You were the best brother I could ask for, you were there for me many times and I will never forget that. It's time for you to rest now. I love you....
