Not sure what to say?

Jerry,
So sorry to hear of your loss. I still think of you both fondly whenever I look at my dusty tennis rackets in the garage. My father cared deeply for you and Rhoda and share deeply in your loss.
I trust her memory will be a blessing.

I'm so sorry to hear about Rhoda's passing. I had the privilege of representing Rhoda's company, Pace Institute, numerous times. Rhoda was an intelligent individual, but also a practical businessperson. I know she contributed greatly to the community. Not only will she be missed by her family, but also by those who had the pleasure of getting to know her in business and community activities. My deepest sympathies go out to her family.

My condolences to the Dersh family. I have known Mrs. Dersh since 1982 when I first attended classes under her direction. She was my employer, my mentor and my friend. She had a genuine spirit and was always there to help others. My family, Rickey and James, and I will truly miss her smile, support and her presence. Dr. Dersh, Deb, Jeff, Jeremy, and Lizbeth, please accept my family's sincerest sympathy for your loss.

Condolences to the entire Dersh family. Mrs. Dersh was one fantastic lady and will be sorely missed.

Jerry, we were so sorry to hear of Rhoda's passing. Please accept our deepest condolences.

Jack and Judy Schnee

Please accept my sincerest sympathy for your loss.

Jeff so very sorry...hugs

I was fortunate to spend 45 minutes twice a week with Rhoda.I was her hairdresser. She walked into my salon and made my day bright. I so looked forward to our conversations about art about politics but mostly the way she lit up talking about her children and Her grandson. She touched so many people . I will miss her .
