To Margaret and the entire family, I'd like to extend sympathy to you, because of the loss of a son, who is also a son to my late Uncle: Earl Rodney Brown. May heaven smile upon Rodney. Sincerely, Mrs. Karen Scott

It is never easy to say good bye to someone that was loved by so many. You want to question why. You feel lost and alone but if you just keep the faith and know that Jesus said that we who believe in him will all be together in heaven living the life that we are supposed to live. Some people finish the job that the lord has planned for them sooner than others. Just remember that absent from the body present with the Lord. You will never get over the pain but you will learn to cope with it. Praying for the entire family.
