LTC (Ret.) Donald Duane Rhode

Dad, Through tears and sadness, there is relief that you are no longer suffering. I owe much of my strength of character, determination, sense of humor, and love of garden fresh tomatoes to you. You were always there for me for through the good and the tough times, steadfast, offering assistance and backing me 100% percent. If I tried to put limits on myself, you encouraged me to reach beyond my reservations with a simple, "Well, why not"? To this day, I query myself this way when I am weighing a decision of consequence. For all your strength and tough exterior there was a gentle heart that shared a few tears and understood what truly mattered, family. Your devotion to Mom is evident in the way you looked out for her, your trips to the florist and simple gestures like pancake breakfasts for two. We, the children, will look out for her now. To you Dad, the "Grey Goose", thank you for all you have done and be at peace..."all is well, safely rest, God is near". Love, Trish

The Lord bless and keep you and give you peace. Our sincere sorrow for your loss. Robert and Cheryl Cranson

Pauline and family, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Remember the good times you had together and share our memories of laughter and sadness . Time goes by to fast to hold grudges and loved ones can not be replaced. I'm sorry I will not be able to make it Thursday, but Ed is going to try and get up there to see all of you. With Sympathy Ed and Jane Yiannakis

Dear Rhode Family, My sympathy is with your family. God has given you beautiful memories of the past. Healing moves at its own pace. What is a burden one day may be a gift another. Love, Sandie

To the Rhode Family, Our hearts go out to you at this sad time. Just know all of you are in our thoughts and prayers especially you Mrs Rhode. The Kennedy Children: Angie, Kathy,Patti, and Bill
