In Loving Memory
We always enjoyed visiting with Rod. He was a man who loved his family. He was so proud of each of his children and grandchildren. We know he loved Mari and really missed her after she died. We're sure they had a great reunion when Rod joined her in heaven. We also know that they will always be watching over you and helping you. Our love for family grows deeper with each transition we make. We're also sure that our Savior lovingly watches over us and sends the Comforter in our times of need. God bless you and bring you peace.
Dear Chelsea, Rodney and Brian, Love to all of you at this time of your dad's passing. Your dad, Rod, was a great man, bigger than life. He was proud of each of you and all your accomplishments. Now he is free from pain and with Mari, his cherished wife and your sweet mom. We know that he and your Mom will continue to watch over you and love you. May you feel your Savior's love and the love of many people that care. Love to you from our family. Gary, Tami , Andrew and Jeremy Fullmer
Aunt Mari always said , “ God doesn’t give you more than you can handle “. I cannot fathom what if would be like here on Earth without my sweet parents , but what I do know is that all of my 3 cousins (Chelsea, Rodney & Bryan) have an incredible strength & faith that I admire ! Remember that every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson .
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure taking care of Rod and meeting all of you. I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to the service today. You all have been in my thoughts and prayers!
In Loving Memory
