RJ is now 22 and has his first house pet, a dog named Snowy. He's a great pet owner. He is working hard and is respected and makes the Bode name look good. Mailli had a great basketball season but her team didn't and now she's having a great fastpitch season and just made the presidents list at OC as a Junior in Highschool. You'd be so proud. I have done my best to be a great father to these kids. I have struggled missing you and now Mom too but I know you're both well and one day, I will see you two again. Love and miss you Dad.

A wonderful Father, you're missed terribly.
My heart is still broken and it was destroyed 3 years ago when Mom's life was taken. You two are together again and with your Fathers. Keep a watchful eye on us please. Till we all see you again. Love you Pop
