To Rodney's Family, I met your dad many years ago when he lived in MS and every occasion that we've seen each other over the years has ALWAYS been pleasant. It's been a year since I last saw him, but I'll remember him as always, the gentle Man. I hope that soon your good memories will help ease the heartache that you now have.
