Just wanted to say how much I regret not being there with the family to grieve the loss of a great man, my Uncle Johnny.
The Rodriguez boys Robert, John, Pasky and Joey had many obstacles as they were growing up but when their mother died at a young age and their father was ill, they were fortunate to have had uncles who stepped in and loved them as their own and ensured they grew up with good morals and values. I will miss Uncle Johnny but I am consoled knowing that he has gone home and is with his parents and brothers. I know they will be there to greet us when our time comes to go home.
Love,
Laura "Rodriguez" McMillan
