Offer Condolence for the family of Bernard “Barney” A. Rodden
Dear family,
It is so sad to read that Mr. Rodden has passed away. May your memories of him as well as a hope of being reunited one day – John 5:28,29 – bring you the peace and comfort you need at this time.
I will miss this kind and lovely man.
Uncle Barney was such a good guy. In all of my memories of him, he was always so nice to us kids. I loved watching football, playing pool, and eating at his house on Thanksgiving. My dad always spoke so very highly of him. Peace be with you Uncle Barney.
