Rodriguez family, so sorry for your lose. Your mom was a great lady. May she fly with your dad and the angles.

January 16, 2017

I am sorry for your loss. My prayers are with the Rodriguez family and friends. Adversities often sap a person of physical and emotional strength, even numbing the heart. When under extreme pressure from your grief may you find comfort in the words recorded at Psalm 28:7 "God is my strength and shield."
