To the Nydegger Family:
As I sit here wondering what to write I am flooded with memories of my Aunt Rhoda. Her flair, her style, her laugh, her voice. I smile at the memory of her colorful wardrobe and how she wouldn't be Aunt Rhoda if she didn't wear something flamboyant. May you all find peace in your memories of her. Smile, for she is looking down from heaven upon you and smiling herself.
Love Gretchen and Normand Boucher

To the Nydegger family:
Saddness overwhelmes me this day with news of Rhoda's passing. She will live forever in my memory as a loving and careing aunt. She had a long and memorable life. I am sure that she has traveled to heaven on the wings of an angel, because for Rho that is the only way she would go.
