Much love to the Dodd family. May the LORD be with you in a special way.
Tommy DODD was a special man. We were fortunate to become extended family when his daughter married our son. Our prayers are with Martha, Lynne, Brian and our grandsons. Tommy left a legacy as a Christian husband, father and friend. He will be missed. We will see him again in glory.
Dear Martha and Family,
Anne and I will be eternally grateful that God brought Tommy and you into our lives. The times of worship, fellowship, and friendship enjoyed together will be forever cherished. Tommy is surely shouting in the presence of God! He will not return to us, but we have the promise and blessing of one joining him.
Love,
Ron and Anne
