DOC, MY BEST AND ONLY FRIEND: YOU NEVER SAID I'M LEAVING,
YOU NEVER SAID GOODBYE.
YOU WERE GONE BEFORE I KNEW IT,
AND ONLY GOD KNEW WHY.
A MILLION TIMES I NEEDED YOU,
A MILLION TIMES I CRIED.
IF LOVE ALONE COULD HAVE SAVED YOU,
YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE DIED.
IN LIFE I LOVED YOU DEARLY,
IN DEATH I LOVE YOU STILL.
IN MY HEART YOU HOLD A PLACE,
THAT NO ONE COULD EVER FILL.
IT BROKE MY HEART TO LOSE YOU,
BUT YOU DIDN'T GO ALONE.
FOR PART OF ME WENT WITH YOU,
THE DAY GOD TOOK YOU HOME.
WITH ALL MY LOVE, NOW AND FOREVER: DIANA TIJERINA AND FAMILY

To Dr. Rodriguez Family & Staff: Our most sincere condolences to each and everyone of you who loved him and worked alongside of him. We know that he will forever live in your hearts and I'm sure that you will cherish many wonderful memories. For those of us who knew him outside of his practice, we saw a member of the community who made his presence felt by giving of himself. I, for one, will miss seeing him along the sidelines at Yellowjacket Stadium. Maybe because he was one of us, we took him for granted but how many could do the same in some other capacity and prefer to watch others do it! He leaves behind a legacy of caring for those he loved, may that be how we remember him! May his joy be complete in our Lord's presence and those who preceeded him. Amy & Mike Marroquin

Our thoughts and prayers to Rene's Family. Rene thank you for everything you did for the community. On a personal note: Doc, thank you for all you did for my family especially my children. How you made them feel loved during their office visits with you. How I enjoyed our many private conversations during the visits. You used to tease me when I got tears and a lump in my throat when we talked about our kids. You laughed and asked why I got that way. I would tell you how it touched my heart when I heard you talk about your son Angel. You used to say he was your angel from heaven, and how important it was being a mother and father to him. How proud you were of Angel. We will miss you.
