Rodney words cannot express how much of a void there is in our lives without you!
You were so colorful, vibrant, a wild-flower...
a ray of sunshine filled with love.
Since the early 1980s when you were but a young teen, you´ve been our Brother, and we, your sisters. And we were inseparable!
How can I ever forget the years of all night chats at Mom´s house, the many laughs, that Nanny Goat coat of yours and jingle boots - we couldn´t tell you Nothing
You rocking your Run DMC on your boom box and dancing the Prep with that cigarette hanging from your lips - You were fly and super cool
And there were the stories...Yes, the many stories... Stories that kept us engaged, stories that kept us in awe, stories that kept us laughing - many of which were filled with your inner most dreams and desires.
You were always there with us, and for us.
And if needed you, you were always just a phone call away and you always arrived with a smile...and of course, another exciting story to tell
You never let too much time elapse without always checking on your "Sis" and "Mother" and family to make sure we were "good".
You were a loving, caring, and protective little brother who treated me more like a little sister, and life will never be the same you.
You were a fighter for sure, and you fought until the end. But this battle was the Lord´s and yes, you did win!
Although you´re with God now and you´re at peace, my heart aches so badly because I will miss you sorely, and things won´t be the same without you.
There´s so much I want to say...
But all I can do right now as I try and process this painful loss is to just thank you for everything, and most importantly, Thank God for the Blessing of your life and that he loved us enough to share you with us.
You were a special and treasured gift
And I will Love you always little Brother
May you dwell in eternal paradise and continue to watch over and protect us now that you´ve transformed from an earthly angel to a heavenly one
I will miss you sorely Rod!
Love you forever,
"Sis" Reneé
