Rhoda was a feisty and sassy woman! I always enjoyed chatting with her at Tamarisk. Her love for her dogs was all consuming. She was a force to be reckoned with.
Rest in peace, Rhoda! You will be missed!!
God bless you Rhoda… When you’re up there, look up our buddy Barry, if ain’t there waiting for you…
Rhoda, you will be missed! It was an honor and pleasure to know you! Thank you for all the laughs and for always being your sassy self! Love you Rhody! My sincere condolences to the family. My thoughts and prayers to you all.
So sorry to hear of Rhoda’s passing. We have fond memories of times spent with her and remember meeting one of her dogs.
