My father, Amando Rodriguez, Sr. The strongest, bravest man ever. Devoted husband to my mother and father to myself and two brothers. Hard working man who gave his family everything. From a large, hard working family he was the leader of his 11 siblings. He would help others in need and contribute to the community without being asked. Everyone in our small town of Pearsall, TX knew “Mando”. His battle with brain cancer was tough and he fought hard. We all remember he would say “Good Morning!” whether it was 9am or 9pm. You would smile when he said those words whether it was morning or evening.

I miss you, dad. Even though you’re not here. physically, you’re here with us spiritually. Mom misses you and loves you. Amando Jr. misses you and loves you. Danny misses you and loves you. I miss you and love you.
