…the greatest running partner God could have ever blessed me with, my wife Eva. You personify perseverance, integrity, courage and love. Thank you for being the ideal wife, mother, partner, and friend. I can’t imagine life without you.
…my greatest miracles, Yvonne, Nathan and Lauren. Your smiles and joy constantly strengthen me. I live to leave something greater for you and your generation. You’re not only my children; you are the executive members of the Rodriguez Dream steering committee. Don’t forget, if you ever fall, Daddy’s there to pick you up.
…My parents, Samuel and Elizabeth. The best possible parents anyone can ever ask for. My father’s hands instilled in me a strong work ethic while my mother’s wisdom guided me from day one. One of the highlights of my life was the day I found my dad kneeling down praying to the Almighty. This strong, UAW, Mack Truck, powerful man demonstrated that strength comes from above. Mom, seven times around Jericho and the walls will always come down.
…My two sisters, Reina and Lydia. Your covering, love and faithfulness make me thank God daily that I am the youngest and I can always depend upon a firewall of two powerful women of God, my covering. Charlie’s Angels? Can I stop playing Bosley now?
…Felix Posos. My tourniquet. I will celebrate with you one day in Heaven. I miss you, Pastor. David Espinoza,...
