I would like to request that you keep in your prayers the soul of my grandfather, Liberato (Rod) Rodriguez, who passed away peacefully earlier this evening, and his family.
My grandfather was a great man who dedicated his life to his wife and family. He was a World War II Veteran who earned a Purple Heart by taking several bullets to the stomach and leg. Ironically, he nearly died while recovering from his injuries from a bout of the hiccups. I guess he was unable to hold down any food or water for many days. Other than that, I do not know much about his time in the service during the war, as he never cared to talk about it.
He was married to his wife for over fifty years before she passed away a few years ago. He raised two daughters, each of whom had one son, and was lucky enough to see the birth of two beautiful great-grandchildren.
I would ask that you especially keep in your prayers my mother, Rosa Host. As of Tuesday she will have buried both of her parents and her sister.
Thank you and God bless,
Eric Host
Amen! May God bless Texas!
Prayers going up.
