Dear Elizabeth & Family
Just learned of Rodney's passing with much sadness and sorrow.

Bob Cook & Family
Liz, so sorry to have read of Rod's passing. Our deepest condolences at this time of your great loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We often sit and go through our photos at ball tournaments. Sure had some good times.
Dear Elisabeth,
We were very sorry to see your email about Rod. We know you two were really happy in Arkansas and we enjoyed hearing of your cruises each year you took them. When Rod was still in N. Ontario, he was a wonderful asset to everyone. I will never forget all our accomplishments and the fun I had with him on the road, where his humor made so many trips enjoyable instead of boring. Diane and I are thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Fred Steward
To the Yacoback Family
We are sorry to hear about the passing of Rodney P Yacoback. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. At this time to encourage all grieving hearts to draw comfort from this loving promise from God. Reading and understanding this promise brings our hearts true delight despite the suffering that we are dealing with. This promise will also brings blessing even to our departed love ones. For a moment, please take note of this promise. God tells us from the scriptures that He will soon call to those in the grave, and that our love ones will hear His voice and stand up in life again. ( John 5:28-29) Can you envision Rodney standing up in life again? Well this is God's personal promise to all grieving hearts. In fact this promise serves as a personal guarantee from God that the resurrection to life of Rodney, and billions of others will really take place. Yes God understand that there would be those who would not have faith in this promise arrangement. So to help all develop strong faith in this blessing, God has preserved nine accounts in the Bible that speaks about this loving blessing. Here is just one such example recorded at John 11:32-44. I would like to take this time to plead with the family members and friends to read the account. When doing so, think about how the verses would apply to their family members who have died, and how they now entertain a hope of seeing them again. So keep this promise near your hearts at all times. Our love ones will live again. We have God's personal promise. Yes it is impossible for God to lie.( Titus 1:2)
Elisabeth...you are in our thoughts and prayers. Rod will be missed, but know that his struggle has ended and his pain has been released. We are with you in heart and spirit as you face this very difficult time.
Elizabeth and Family,
