Hi Grandma, Miranda is still wanting to go see her Nana. What I miss most is getting your advice and just talking to you. Love you and miss you terribly!
It has been a week, and lets just say that it hasn't gotten any easier. Miranda keeps asking to go see you. Yesterday we went and had a picnic in your honor and threw flowers out from the causeway. Love you!

Grandma it is hard to say good-bye so I will say until we meet again. Thank you for teaching us that Family is everything and just because they aren't blood doesn't mean that they can become family. Even in Hope Hospice you adopted a daughter, Irene. You have taught me a lot about life especially in the last 8 months. You said you were a baby when it came to pain, but you were wrong you fought so hard to stay alive so you can continue to see your family grow. You were strong you pushed through and fought until the end. I remember being stubborn as a kid and Pa and you both said I wonder where I got that from because it wasn't from you. Well you both were strong headed and determined and I am proud to say that I am like you and Pa. You are going to be greatly missed. Miranda keeps asking to go see you, like I knew she would. Remember to listen and to peek in from time to time. I am going to miss our phone calls and our Mondays together. I love and miss you Grandma, Love Ashley
I love you Mom and I miss you already, I know you are in a much better place, I keep thinking that I am the oldest one now and I have to hold us together that is a big job and I just pray that I can do it half as good as you did. Remember what I said I will be talking to you a lot so you better be paying attention. well I have to go for now just one more question did you find a spot for your Christmas tree. I love you. Carrie
One day as I was heading home from visiting you i was listening to the radio and the lyrics just spoke to me: "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got till it's gone." I think we are all pretty lucky that we know what we had with you before you left this world. I remember the love I saw in your eyes when talking with Mackenzie, Ireland and Logan one of the last times you saw them. You were cherishing little moments and we will always cherish you. Like Uncle Chuck said, I'm happy that you are with Pa and you both are watching all of us. We love Grandma (Nana)!Crystal, Mike, Mackenzie, Ireland and Logan
Grandma,I really don't even feel like you are gone, but I know that when I go to Florida the next time, it will feel as if there is a big hole in my heart. Most of my memories are in the letter I wrote to you a couple of weeks ago, so this will be short. I think that all of us grandchildren will remember your wise words of: "Shut the door, the air's on!" ?? Tell Grandpa Rhodes that I love him and miss him and that "it's all his fault." ?? Also, I know that he knows it, but tell Grandpa LeBrun that I miss and love him as well! And tell Uncle Allen that we all say "Hi!" You will be greatly missed!Love always,Your Middle Grandchild,Kelli.
Sending deep sympathy to Lee , Cindy and the entire Rhodes family.
I love you mom. You were such a great mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. You were the cornerstone that held our family together with your love. Everyone you met could quickly feel your loving heart and you touched so many lives in a special way. I cannot count how many times people have told me what a sweet loving mom I had after meeting you. We will certainly miss you here, but are excited that you are reunited with Dad. We are so thankful for all of the great memories that we have, and they will surely help in this time of mourning. We will never forget you. I am so blessed to have had you and Dad as my parents. I love you… Chuck Rhodes
