I just heard about Rhoda's death. She and I worked together some years ago. She always had a ready smile and a twinkle in her eyes. My special sympathy goes out to her dear friend, Alan Grover. They were a loving example of what true friendship is about.

My heart goes out to my brother, Alan Grover who has been a dear friend of Rhoda's for 40 years. Their friendship was precious and I will miss her at our family Thanksgivings.

I am heartbroken over the passing of Rhoda- she was a wonderful,beautiful women, we worked together for many years and when I found out that she had died I was shocked-she was always so healthy, I always looked at her as an inspiration, when my husband was ill and died she was there to offer so much love an support, when her mother died I don't think Rhoda got over that she loved her so much- and oh how she loved chocolate- she would get so excited to eat it -I will miss you, rest in peace dear friend...Diane

Rhoda will be missed dearly by both Barry and I. At a very difficult time in Rhoda's life the Lord brought her into our life, and for the last 3 years our relationship with Rhoda has been as though she has always been there. Barry and I will miss her dearly.

I wish to convey my deepest condolences to all of Rhoda’s family and dearest friends. Although I met Rhoda in 2009, I felt like I knew her my entire life. I shall truly miss our conversations in person and on the phone. She was a kind and gentle woman who touched many lives.

A bright light has been dimmed by Rhoda's passing. I got to know Rhoda through several extended family events and each time I would see her, her smile lit up the room. Peter and I are out of town and will not be able to attend her funeral, but we are with her in our hearts.
With love and peace to all...Sari
