Rodney Allen Little will forever be remembered through his family and loved ones. I had the honor of learning his love and leadership, professionally, through one of his daughters. Based on her loyalty, kindness, strength, and love... I could only imagine how great a man he had to be. Rodney means breathtaking beaches, gold sand, and crystal clear water. In other words, you were a beautiful experience. Thank you, for instilling those experiences in your loved ones, and know you will rest in peace. Sincerely, C. Hamilton

To Ms Little and her family, I am praying for you all during your time of grief. I pray that you all continue to lean on each other and give each other strength. Though he is not with you all, you all carry apart of his spirit, his wisdom, hopes and dreams. His legacy will continue to grow through you all. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. -Brianna Poole
