Dear Rodriguez Family:

Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of your beloved. There are never any right words to express how deeply sad I am for the pain your family is enduring at this difficult time.

Although I did not have the honor and pleasure of knowing him, as Chair of the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations, I am sincerely thankful for his valiant service in defense of our rights and freedom.

His commitment to family, friends, our community, and to serving our great nation leaves a wonderful legacy. May the love and the wonderful memories you shared with him help you when you need it most. He will never be forgotten, and your family will be remembered in my prayers.

En verdad es muy triste decir adios a un hermano en Cristo,como a Tony y lo llamo asi pue en el tiempo que servi en las comunidades,me gane su confianza y El siempre fue un buen ejemplo de como debe ser un servidor de nuestro Senor.
Que el Senor Jesus le de la paz que solo El puede dar y a su familia el consuelo que en estos momentos necesitan.
