Dear Susan.
I (we) were shocked to hear the news that Rodney had passed away. At first I thought it must be a mistake, because he was so young and had so much to live for. Our hearts go out to you and family. We all thought the world of him, as we do you. If there is anything I can do to help, please, please let me know.
You are in our prayers,

This is very sad. Rodney ran a great business but more importantly valued his time with his family. He built a business to be proud of. He will be missed.
