What a beautiful Christmas story about a special little boy who basically had nothing but still found a way to give the little he had. Reminds me of the Little Drummer Boy too. Giving from the heart and expecting nothing in return is the greatest gift of all. Wouldn't it be great if the whole world had the great big hearts that the littlest of children have! RIP to Rodney and his family. ❤💐
I think this is one of your best videos Ron and that’s saying a lot. What a wonderful sacrifice made by a boy with the purest of hearts. I think that’s why the stained glass has endured for so long. Have a blessed and joyous holiday Ron and my the Lord continue to grant you traveling mercies as you traverse the county to bring us these wonderful stories.
Rodney Richey: Your selfless act exemplifies the meaning of Christmas. May you forever Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory. Ron, thank you for sharing this touching story with us. Merry Christmas Ron and the Faces of the Forgotten Community.
I've never heard this song before. Rodney was the littlest angel. Thank you for sharing the story of Rodney. I am surprised the town hasn't collected money for a large tombstone with all their names on it.
I'm working on having s cenotaph made for all the family there. The children were lucky to have stones as family was very poor. But their mother I'm sure did everything to see her babies remembered.
Beautiful story I couldn't watch it all the way thru. I start to cry in the end. When you were in the church. I'm myself I'm going on 5 years since my husband passed away. I love your channel and our history walks. I wish you and your love ones and everyone's one this channel a happy safe Marry Christmas 🎁⛄🎄
I remember this story from a book we had as a child. My dad read it every Christmas. But I forgot about it until you started this video. You have out did yourself, it was so beautifully recorded and your drawings, so sweet. Thank you Ron….Merry Christmas ❤
Oh, I ´ve cried like a child. The Lord took from the Earth a little saint, a cherub, with a pure and sweet soul. He is in Heaven and protects his Church.
Thank you for the precious gift of that powerful tale. I've lived within 15 miles of that church, but I'd never heard Rodney's story...until you told it. Merry Christmas!
Beautiful little angel. My granddaughter just turned 7 - this story made me think of her and the purity of a child's love and generosity and after the rush of gift opening I am going to give her an even bigger hug than usual. Thank you this visit and story
I have always enjoyed walking cemeteries. Thanks for all of your work. My gr gr Uncle Lewis Spencer and his 4 children were ax murdered Aug 2 1877 in Luray Missouri. They are buried in the Bethlehem Cemetery. It is still talked about today. There are books written by Duane Taylor.
I immediately thought of the Littlest Angel. When my mom read this story to me, I would cry. Then when I would read it to my son, who is now 40, I would cry again, every time.
🥲 Rodney's gift and that of the little angel 😇 were the greatest gifts. They came from the heart ❤️ Beautiful song by Bing Crosby. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 Ron and everyone at FOTF 💕 💞
A poignant story...my Uncle died like that..at age 13 yrs. My Grandmother could not leave her bed for close to a year. Thank you for keeping these real life stories ..alive. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

What a very touching story. How lovely of the church to memorialize Rodney's kind act.Thank you for sharing! I didn't know about the song. I read The Littlest Angel children's book when I was young. Perhaps it was inspired by the song? Blessings of Great to you Ron! Be safe.

What a wonderful litrtle boy,a true selfless little one. How he must have been missed . Thank you for telling this story, I have just got back from playing Midnight Mass, and this brings home what a loving soul he had.

Happy Birthday, Jesus!!!!!❤
That was sooo beautiful! I know a little angel of 4yrs old that I was nanny to in 1977. I often feel his presence and know he watches over my son. Touched my heart, this one. Like little Willie from the Eastland. You are a treasure Ron. Happy Holidays. Take care
What a dear sweet boy….such a natural giving heart. I’m so happy the Church has beautiful stained glass memorial so he won’t be forgotten. Thank you for this beautiful yet sad episode. -Nina❤
Sad story! It's amazing how young kids were allowed to go places by themselves, as I assume he did but maybe someone was with him when he was hit...What a beautiful spirit he had.I'm sure he's in Heaven🤗 Loved the story of the little angel too. I'm 74 and somehow never heard it! Merry Christmas everyone!
Beautiful story about this little angel on Christmas Eve. Amazing, the stained glass window survived. 🙏 HAVE A BLESSED Christmas to everyone. Thanks, Ron, for this beautiful story.❤
