Rhoda loved life and shared that love with many of the people she came in contact with. Her smile made me smile back every time. It was a pleasure to have taken care of her in her final days. I hope you can find comfort in your memories of her. She will be missed by the staff and residents at Miller's Merry Manor in Portage.
