  1. To the Family:

    I know Rod will be greatly missed, he was totally dedicated to his family. He loved you all very much. He and I had several conversations about family and encouraged each other when we had problems. He was a very caring person and I will miss his happy- go – lucky attitude when he would come in. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers, may GOD strenghthen you.

  2. To the Family,

    My deepest sympathy for your loss. Rod was always helping the teachers out at Pisgah Elementary. He would come pick up their cars when they called for repairs and return them for them so they wouldn’t have to leave school. They appreciated that so much. May God give you comfort and peace at this time as only He can.

    With prayers,
    Brenda Wilson
    Secretary, Pisgah Elementary
