Dear Ronald and Garry,
I am sorry for the loss of your dear, sweet mother. She was always a lady and did so much for the community in Tottenham. I knew her from Fraser Presbyterian as well as exercising at Curves (the gym for ladies).
May God bless and comfort you and your families. Rhoda has been and will be greatly missed.

My deepest sympathies! I have known Rhoda all my life – first as a neighbour and then as a friend & manager as Beauty Counsellor’s. We shared many fun times together. Dad & I visited Rhoda, while she was in Newmarket and we enjoyed the visit immensely. Phone calls were always a pleasure. She was a “Fine” Lady and I will miss her.
