I am terribly saddened by this news it has taken a few days for it to really hit me.
Rodney was the first person to welcome me to this room and I learned the last couple of years to read his posts and replys very closely as he always taught me something that increased my growth in this program.
Melissa I am so sorry you lost your friend, I can imagine he was an amazing friend and this is a huge loss for you.
Please extend my condolences to his family and other friends and let them know they are in my prayers and Rodney will always hold a place in my heart.
May he rest in peace in the loving arms of his HP.

So so so so sad...I just got home a few hours ago from being at my wife's family for the holidays and just saw the news. This man helped me so much. I pray for his wife and his children and his family. Goodbye Rodney, and thank you so much for everything...

I was shocked and saddened to hear this. RLC was a good MIP friend and will be sorely missed. I think Canadian Guy had a good idea on posting RLC's last post. I'm continuing with that train of thought and re-posting one of RLC's thread's written Nov. 2:

How to Live a Full Life.

The program at my Tuesday night meeting was on "How To Lead A Full Life?".

It would be interesting reading what members have to share, a way of giving back to newcomers and old timers alike.

How do you lead a full life?

HUGS,

RLC

I think he showed us well. Might be something to think about today.

Hugs to all my MIP friends,

Overcome

I haven`t been around for awhile myself but I too remember RLC.
I`am saddened to hear that he has passed. It is a reminder to me that we
only have the day. His friends and family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I haven't been to MIP for a couple weeks and saw JerryF's post about missing Rodney. I got a huge lump in my throat while secretly hoping that the post I was about to open wasn't about my Rodney, our Rodney, THE Rodney.

RLC and I had a special little bond in that the first evening he came to MIP he found the chatroom and me. He had so many questions about Alanon and HP. I talked to him until it was just he and I left in the chatroom in the wee hours.. He liked to joke that I "shut him in the room and pelted him with hope". As RLC grew in Alanon I couldn't help but feel a certain pride in the strides he made. It was like planting a seed and watching it grow and flower, and that he did! He spoke so warmly to new people with a heartfelt welcome and understanding. His input to others gave the impression he had been around for eons. RLC was a wise and wonderful steward of the Alanon program and a dear, dear friend.

He will be greatly missed...

Christy,

Thank you so much for sharing your memory of Rodney. I am so glad you smothered him in hope and strength on his first night here. He was a blessing to the forum and his memory is so alive on this board.

Miss him like crazy!

I will definitely miss his posts. Did not know him long but plan to re-read his wisdom. RIP RLC
