Not sure what to say?





To Jovita and family,

Rodi will be missed by all who knew and loved him. He was always there, good or bad times. He always cared about family that was so important to him. His grandchildren will not have the chance to know him like we did but he will live on in them forever. My prayers and love will always be with you Jo and your family.
