Sincere sympathy and love is extended to Linwood, Linda,and the Rhodes family in memory of Jerica. Even though you are feeling the emptiness right now, I hope you can find some consolation in Hebrews 13:5. The Lord promises to stay close to you even in your pain. He is with you as you grieve.

He will wipe away the tears and continue to give you faith in these dark hours. The battle is already won. Jesus through His death and resurrection, has conquered death, "that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:15)

I love you and hope that the family, Chris, and Lisa Mason can begin to heal in the most needed ways.

My 4 girls attended S.H.S, and we were all deeply saddened to hear of Jerica's loss.. The sadness you all must still be feeling, I cannot fathom. Just know, that our community will be there for you, and keep you in our prayers, always. My youngest daughter, Mollie insists on stopping at the fence, to make sure all of the candles are lit. We even have a box of wooden matches in the car, incase some are out. Know that she's now a star, twinkling above you! Peace be with you all, until you meet again, in Heaven.

Linda and Mr. Rhodes



"Ill lend you for a little time a child of mine, He said, For you to love the while she lives and mourn for when shes dead. It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three, but will you, till i call her back, take care of her for me?

she'll bring her charms to gladden you, and shall her stay be brief, you'll have her lovely memories as solace for your grief, i cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return, but there are lessons, taught down there, i want this child to learn.

I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true, and from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, i have selected you.

now will you give her all your love nor think the labor vain, nor hate me when i come to call to take her back again?

I fancied that i heard them say, Dear Lord, thy will be done!

for all the joy thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run.

we'll shelter her with tenderness, we'll love her while we may, and for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay; but shall the angels call for her much sooner than we've planned,

we'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand."



"some people come into our lives and quickly go. some stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never ever the same."



My heart and prayers goes out to you in this time of sorrow and grief.

I have had contact in the past with the Rhodes family through the family business. Mr. Rhodes, who I have had the pleasure of meeting, is an extremely professional, compassionate human being and I can only imagine what a wonderful father figure he was to Jerica.



To Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes, I would like to say that you are both in my prayers along with your family members... and I am keeping in mind that Jerica's Mommy and her family need prayer and comfort as well. May God bless and keep you all and in the days ahead, soothing and easing your pain and grief. May your wonderful, loving memories of this sweet little angel wash over you and consume you. I, too, have lost a daughter and holding onto God's unchanging hand just when you feel as if you might drown, saves your soul every time. Please take care of yourselves and God bless.

I, on behalf of the Jackson family would like to express my sincere and deepest sympathy to the entire Rhodes family.

My family and I had the pleasure of meeting Jerica at O'Neill's basketball games last year. As she sat talking to my son, I thought, "What a sweet and friendly little girl". As time progressed, I later came in contact with little Jerica at her school's open house. You could not help but to take notice of how smart and articulate she was as she raised her hands with confidence to answer questions.

What a gem! The memory of her presence here on Earth will forever live on. God Bless you all.

I had the privilage of meeting Jerica at a Church Fundraiser (Holy Innocents Fish Fry) in May, 2004. Her spirit and zest for knowledge of life was simply endless. Pregnant at the time, I only wished that my child would carry that same passion. Her love for her family was endless and of course she was (and always will be) the apple of her grandparent's eye. Linda, I just loved the way you would exude with pride just talking about her at the OB clinic every time I came in.



She will be with you ALL always. May God Bless you Jerica and the family.

Gretchen Melvin

February 2, 2005

Rhodes family,

I did not have the pleasure of ever meeting Jerica but knowing how close you are with my brother, Mr. Richardson, it is like a family member. It has been said, "Lifetime relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life." You all had the privilege of having Jerica for her short lifetime but I am certain many lessons have been learned...Reflect on the times she made you smile, laugh and even those times you may have felt like crying...those are the times that will last the rest of your lifetime.....It may cause you to laugh, smile or even cry again but I pray that it will also warm your hearts with peace and joy. Our prayers and thoughts are with you!
