Charles Rodney "Rod" Prejean Sr.

Beverly and family - Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Wishing you beautiful memories that brings smiles and peace.

Beverly and the Prejean family, we are sorry for the loss of Mr. Rod.
Our prayers and love are with you all.

Our deepest condolences to the Preajean family. Saying I'm sorry does not begin to fill the hole of pain and sorrow to be endured until you are all reunited. Gordon and myself worked many years together and I've had the pleasure of meeting a brother. From the moment I met Gordon I knew he was a stand up kind of man and thought of him as a friend and Brother. After reading Mr Preajeans obituarie I would have to believe the entire family is the same way. What a great example he led to lay a strong foundation for his family. I have no doubt he will be watching over each of you to continue that example for each of you to follow. Our deepest thoughts and prayers for strength, peace and comfort will remain for all that loved him.

To Beverly and your entire family...I am so sorry I am unable to travel to celebrate Rod's life. I will never forget our first meeting & the fun we had. Rod was a generous person. I have loving memories of all my trips visiting you, Rod, Brian & Lynn.
All my love to you and your family.

To Beverly and the entire Family...Sorry we will not be able be there to honor Rod but he will not be forgotten, Carole and Pete Mansur

To all the Prejean Extended Family,
What an amazing and generous man Mr. Rod was. He led a remarkable life giving to so many people and children. Let him rest in peace, for he suffers without Alzheimers anymore.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
