The comfort in losing a loved one is that God had the master plan for Rodney and even though his earthly body lives no more his soul is seated at the throne of our Lord. What a joyous thought. I met Rodney but once and considered him a wonderful human being.
The true hallmark of a life well lived is not in how much he loved, but how much he was loved by others.
God Bless you all.
