In loving memory of my friend 🧡 rhoda. I met you over 20 years ago at mcshan. You started out being my supervisor and ended being my friend 🧡 I really don’t know what to say other than I will miss you. My thoughts and prayers to the family who I know rhoda loved so much. She was such a fun loving person 💕 who will live on in our hearts and memories ♥️
I knew Rhoda from Bryan Adams High School. Years later, I got to know her again when she worked with my mother at McShan’s Florist. She was a lovely lady.
RIP Sweet Cousin. My prayers are with your beautiful family.
Rhoda is with Jesus no doubt. I always sent my Christmas cards to “Rockin Red Rhoda”. We worked together years ago at SWBT. Then she worked at McShan’s flower store forever. 💕💕
Rest in peace, beautiful Rhoda. You were so very loved and will be missed by all of us. I have many fond memories as a young child visiting Aunt Roselyn and Uncle Boyd, and spending time with all of you older cousins. May the light and love you gave to all of those around you be an example to us all. Love you.
Your smile, your laugh, snd your faith in Christ will always be remembered dear high school friend. We will miss you but we will see you again someday. May your family be comforted knowing you are with your Saviour.
