Our deepest sympathies go to the family of Gene Rhoda. Though we aren't in the region any longer, we (especially Jim) have many fond memories of bowling with Gene.

Dear Gina,

I was so sorry to hear about your father passing away. Even though we lived by you and your father many years, I regretfully did not get to know him very well. I do not know what it is like to lose a father, but I will pray for you and for the children as you cope with your loss. I will pray for peace that passes all understanding.

Again, I'm sorry for your loss.



I'm sorry I could not send you a proper card, but I do not have your current address. We are still in Chesterton and Bekah still remembers with fond memories her time spent with Jackie. Maybe sometime we will meet up again with each other. Please take care, and remember that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.



Love, Tricia Drew
