So sorry Mary. Rod was such a hard working man and always so fun loving. He loved you and all his doggies over the years so much! He suffered so much these past few years and you did so good taking care of him for so long. He would have stayed to be with you if he could have. He didn’t get nearly enough time. We are so sorry for your loss. We will miss him and will keep you in our prayers. ❤
Mary. Don and I loved Rod very much. He was a super kind-hearted person. Will be greatly missed. Will always be here for you as you lick up the pieces
Mary, I am so sorry to hear of Rod’s passing. I have so many memories of all the fun times we had together. Of course nothing could ever top the “shirt pocket hole in one” I still laugh thinking about it. Rod had a big heart, that’s for sure and I’ll always remember his smile and laugh.
Rest in peace Rod.
Mary. So sorry about Rod’s passing. He had a big heart full of love and kindness. RIP Rod.
I miss my Honey so much! We fought so hard together to make him better. Just couldn’t happen. He is with me forever and always. Thank you all for your condolences and thoughts. God Bless!!
