Condolences

Rhoda and my father were cousins. I met her only a few times when she played cards or mahj with my mother. She was a delightful woman, I’m sorry I didn’t know her well. May her memory be a blessing to her children and grandchildren.

We are so sorry to hear your sad news. Rhoda was a vibrant and wonderful presence in every facet of her life. May all the generations of your family know healing and consolation as we count the weeks up to the New Year. HaMakom yena-chem et-chem be-toch.......

My deepest sympathy to your family. Rhoda will never be forgotten at Point Pleasant. I have so many memories of your Mom. I remember when she was able she never missed a casino trip. She loved her gambling.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
