Not sure what to say?

Hello, I'm Celine Pittman and just happened to look through this page, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's passing like 3 ½ yrs later. My deepest condolences to you and I'll be praying for your mom and Randy's joyful & peaceful eternal life w/Lord Jesus and their reunion in Heaven together. I also havee lost my close loved one recently and I was pretty devastated and plan on attending GriefShare meetings. Bessings!!

Thank you Mrs. Rhoads for the opportunity to be taught piano by such a wonderful and talented person. You will truly be missed. Pax

What an amazing woman, having given birth to one of the most influencial guitarist ever, and remaining resilient and lucid deep into her late years. So many interviews and so much to share about her history and of course Randy. Rest in peace Dee.

I had always hoped to meet her. She is an inspiration for so many who searched beyond Randy's music. His life.. Her life.. touched the world because of their love for music and life. Truly a rock for those who longed to connect and learn where Randy got his strength.

I had just learned of Delores Rhoads passing away in November, I had been in a coma after a car accident last October 25 and just returned home today and learned of her passing by trying to catch up on all news while I was away (so to speak) but I just wanted to say that I thank her for bringing Randy to us as he was a great talented guitarist and my mentor, it was him that inspired me to learn guitar even though after he passed away I had lost my ambition to continue with it but I wish to...

Just learned of Mrs. Rhoads' passing. She certainly was a strong woman whose passion for music will live on not only through Randy's legendary life, but through her other family members' lives and the many students she taught in her lifetime. What a gal!

Mrs. Rhoads. Your love of music beamed through Randy and likewise to the world and is an eternal gift. RIP and Thank you.
