My deep condolences to Philip and Lou and Deborah and all the family of Rhoda Polish.
I will always treasure my memories of my friendship with Rhoda---of doing yoga together, of Rhoda on the bike at the gym, of Rhoda's passion for music, and especially of having good laughs together.
She was a dear friend and I will miss her.
With deep sympathy,
Jean Haskell
