Carol and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your dear mother and loved one; when you lose your mom, you certainly lose a part of yourself (and only daughters who have gone thru this trial can really appreciate this).
It was so good to see you downtown recently and to catch-up somewhat.
My prayers will be with you in the coming months and especially as you go through this upcoming Holiday Season.
Love,
Frances-Herring Reynolds

Carol:
I had not seen your mother since the early 70's, but I remember what a wonderful friend she was to my mom, Ruth Brown.
Please accept my deepest sympathies. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Dear Carol and family,
I am sorry for the loss of your loved one. She will truly be missed, especially by me. But I would like to take this oppourtunity to thank you for letting me in your family and trusting in me to be apart of taking care of your mother and father for the last 16 years. It has truly been a honor. God Bless You

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My sincerest sympathies to the family. Sadly for me, I didn't know Rhoda -- she was my mother's contemporary -- but Rhoda's late daughter, Judy Breit - a wonderful girl - was in my high school class at TeeJay. Having been away from Richmond for decades, I didn't know Judy was gone. This truly saddens me, especially in light of the passing of her mother now (in the wrong order). Would someone please be kind enough to email me and provide at least a thumbnail of Judy's life and death (when/how), so that I will know? In any case, Judy will ever remain young and alive in my memory, and that is the best thing I can do to honor Rhoda. Again, my deepest condolences on the family's loss.

The children and I have fond memories of your mother and father they met and exceeded the definition of true friends. To quote Stanley "We wish you what you wish yourself and all the sweet memories.

To: The Family of The Late Mrs. Rhoda Bloom Breit, Carol and family I would like to extend my prayers and love to you all. I had often wondered how your mom was doing. I remember all the mornings going into your office and seeing her smile and we would exchange greetings, and talk about what was happening in the news.Your mother was a joy to talk too.
Much Love To You And Your Family.......Rae R. Green

Rhoda was like a mother to me. My life has been blessed from having known her and having shared her love. I will miss her dearly and will always remember what a special lady she was. May she rest in peace.
