Dr. Rhodes,
When my child Brad was gravely ill you were there to reassure and comfort me. I can only hope that my words of encouragement now will see you through these darkest hours. My heart goes out to you and Katy and Blake. May GOD lift your spirit and guide you through your time of loss.

Mrs. Rhodes was my second grade teacher ten years ago. I'm a senior in high school now and I mean it when I say that she was an amazing woman. I still remember her classroom and her kindness and patience with me when I struggled with my math homework. There are only a few teachers in life who make an impact that is so deep you carry with you everything you learned. She is definitely one of those teachers. My heart goes out to her family. She was an incredible person.

Andrea gave our teaching profession the kind of dedication and respect that makes me feel proud of just teaching down the hall from her. I taught with her at Bryson and was always amazed at the beautiful and informative newsletters she sent home to let the parents know exactly what they were doing. She always made sure her children were taking home precious projects they had made for Mother's Day or Christmas. It made you wish you had a child (or Grandchild) in her classroom. I also...

Dear Ray, Katy and Blake,
Your sweet mother (and lovely wife) was one of my very best friends in our "early years" as freshmen at UT-Austin in 1968. She was always beautiful inside and out. You were greatly blessed in having her as such an important influence in your lives.
May healing and hope give you strength in the days ahead,
In peace, Margaret (Thigpin) Jones
