To Rodney’s parents. I am a friend of Danielle Powers. She asked me to come with her to visit Rodney. I brought water from Lourdes France where this healing water is at. OurLady of Lourdes. We both prayed and I anointed his head and his abdomen. Rodney was very receptive. Also I brought prayer cards to St Pergrine patron st. Of cancer and another prayer. I told your son that Mary promises with this Lourdes water you will be healed could be physical or healing in another way. He understood. I could tell what a very wonderful man he was. I had the honor of meeting him and praying with him. Rest In Peace Rodney. May perpetual light shine upon him. Karen Ruffner
