My sympathies to the Rode family for your loss of your mom. Glen, my prayers are with you as you grieve; I know what you are going through. It's never easy but our mothers would not want us to be sad forever for they have a new body & are in no pain. Lean on Jesus who will give you strength. My condolences, Linda K.Bridges
