    So sorry for your loss of your father. I am reminded by all the feelings I went through with the loss of my mother in 1999. You will never forget your father and I know you had some very special moments here the last several months. What a special time and found memories you have of your father. We certainly know your loss is different than that of my mother or that of Jill’s father. We pray you find peace and celebrate his life. Keep your faith and your focus on God will bring you through. We are certainly here and sometimes the difficult time is not necessarily the next 2 weeks or even getting through all the legal proceedings. It comes when all the people have left and the food is gone but rest assured, they have not forgotten.
    Love you guys!

    I was stunned and so sad to see the news of Rod’s passing. I didn’t know him well at all but he was always so friendly when our paths crossed in Freehafer at Purdue. He had a smile for everyone and a kind hello and brief comment or two. He’ll be sorely missed. My thoughts are with you all.
