To Rodney, Rhonda, and the rest of the Gresham family, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Though I did not know Rodney well, I had the pleasure of taking care of him at Crawford Long Hospital earlier this year. He became special to me because it was though he were a miracle survivor. He survived his illness then. Yet, God wanted him now. Just remember these words. "Have I command thee, be strong and of good courage, be not afraid for the lord thy God is with thee."



Our deepest sympathy

and thoughts,

To the Gresham Family,

My prayers are with you all in this unfortunate and untimely death. Rodney will be greatly missed. I always remember him with a smile on his face. Anytime I was around, he always joked about something, it seemed he was never mad about anything. There is always such a warm feeling when in company with any of the Gresham's. Again, my prayers are with you and please don't hesitate to give me a call if you need anything. (404)288-1478.



Deepest Sympathy,

Dana & Destiny Harris
