Dear Charlie, Rhonda, Jamie, Chay & Audrey,
We have just gotten back from Rod's service today. Chay, you and Jamie did a wonderful job and I know Rod was proud of the way you two stepped up and did so much. The service was a beautiful tribute to a wonderful son, brother, father and friend. You could feel the outpouring of love just by looking around at all who's lives Rod touched in such a short time. We all have many stories to share about him, and as the minister said today, when you speak of Rod, you can't help but smile. He was a character! Rod was a brother to Darrell, Buc, and especially to Derrick, when you saw one of them you saw at least one of the other. Our heartfelt sorrow and prayers are will all of you during the coming days and weeks ahead. Don't hesitate to call if we can help you in any way.

To the Cannington Family,
My deepest and most heart-felt sympathies go out to you. Rod will be sadly missed by the entire Weise crew. He never missed one family reunion or Somerset get-together that we managed to throw together. He had become
one of us, and our lives will be sorely empty without his presence.
Please know that his memory will live on in each one of us (all of us), and the stories of how he made us laugh will be shared for many years to come.
Love and support,
