Someone wrote a sympathy message

“Rodney and I met in the sandbox on his birthday (May 26, 1957.). He had received a blue bucket and a yellow shovel which he offered to share with me. He was my BEST friend through high school and after we lost touch, God helped us find each other again in 2012. Each of us, often knew what the other was thinking with a “coded” glance. Rodney’s friendship and caring, compassion in my life will most likely NEVER be matched..”
