All of our love and prayers to you! Rodney and Lisa are like "bonus" grandparents to our children. Yesterday the kids remembered fondly a game Rodney played with them one of the many times they were at the house. Rodney told them the carpet was lava and he put the pillows on the floor and had them pretend the pillows were rocks. They jumped from rock to rock over the lava that afternoon. He took care of so many like they were his own. He will be deeply missed by our family and so many others.
