    To the Dodson family. I am writing to express my care love and concern for you at this time of your loss. There is comfort in knowing God’s promises about the resurrection hope. Read Acts 24:15 and Revelation 21:4. God has resurrected humans in the past and He is eager to do it again because He hates death. It is not His original purpose for mankind. I would like to discuss more with you about God’s promises. Please contact me at (614) 870-2979. Love Your Neighbor Irish J. Richardson.

  3. To my family,
    Baby girl was so amazing and caring. One of the best things I noticed from the first time I met her, she was Love. The kind of love we as family grow to mold. Her Love was already completed God used her to mold us to love like Rudy.

    To the Family of Tamara (Rudy) Dodson-
    Words are inadequate to sufficently express my condolences and to convey the depth and profundity of the sadness I have felt since I received the news sitting in church last Sunday. Tamara was a member of my D.I.V.A. Gurlz at Champion MS. She embodied the “V” for Vivacious in DIVA. She was gregarious and full of life.
    I pray that God will grant you comfort during this time. Remember that this is not the end. I Thessalonians 4:13-18 reminds us those who die in Christ will live again. My prayers are with your family.

  9.
