So sorry for the loss of your beloved Rodney. May God give your family and friends the strength necessary to cope with these difficult moments . Although death is always sad and painful , there's a wonderful promise that the day will come when we will no longer shed any tears from the sadness and pain death brings upon us. May these words give you comfort and peace of mind.
