To Lisa, Mr. Rhodes and family: My deepest sympathies. When my dad called to tell me of Mrs. Rhode's passing and I saw her picture on this website, my first thought was,"This is how I remember her!". She was always happy, smiling and so kind. I have fond memories of her when Lisa and I were hanging out in high school. Lisa...and family...my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I do hope you find comfort in knowing she is at peace now. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
