Help us honor our dad Severo Rodriguez's memory

My name is Paulina Rodriguez Taylor. Yesterday evening, our dad, Severe Rodriguez, El Jefe as we called him, went to be with the Lord. Though he was 91 years old, his passing was unexpected. Those who had seen him or talked to him yesterday afternoon said he sounded like his jolly self.

As we prepare to celebrate his life, we've realized we're a couple thousand dollars short for his funeral expenses and are having to seek help from family and friends at this time. If you're able to and find it in your hearts to help, we truly appreciate it. I know my dad would would also appreciate your love for his children in helping say our "Hasta Luego"s to him.

Papi was a wonderful brother always checking in on his two living siblings, a special uncle, a loving grandfather and a caring dad, also a loyal friend and a faithful member to his house of worship and maybe not a pastor, but always sharing God's Word to anyone who he'd come across. He will truly be missed. Again, no amount is too small. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for showing your love for my dad and for our family.

In the words of my dad: Dios les bendiga!
