Condolences
Dear "Duckeye", Paula, Dana
Dear "Duckeye", Paula, Dana and The entire Rhoades family,
With sincere sympathy and many prayers that God will give you His help, His strength, and His hope during this time of sorrow.
I worked with Pauline for many years at the A&P and we became good friends. She never failed to make me smile or laugh. She was kind and good hearted and loved her family, this I know for sure.
I got to share special occasions that the family had for Pauline when she retired and the celebration of being married to Duckeye at that time for 50 years at the LGM in Coatesville. I will always cherish my "good old days"with Pauline and never forget her.
With Love, Sympathy, Friendship, Caring and most of all, Prayers to The Family Of Pauline.
Take Care and God Bless,
Doris & Barry Aberts

Dear Paula and family;

Dear Cheryl and Buddy, I
Dear Cheryl and Buddy,
I remember Mrs. Rhoades' kindness to me when she showed me your house when I brought my nephew to see the farm where his mom, Linda, and I grew up summers and visited often. It had belonged to my great Aunt Bertha and Uncle Ernie Herman and run by their adopted son, Norman (Reds). Oh what memories it brought back and my nephew still remembers the visit. I shall always remember
Mrs. Rhoades allowing us to visit when you were out of town. May God grant you, Cheryl, and Buddy peace and fond memories of Buddy's mom. I look forward to seeing her once again upon a distant shore.
Sincerely,
Judith Herman Khan
My dear cousin
To Duckeye, Sharon, Buddy, Paula Jean and their families,
Pauline was my oldest cousin on my mom's side of the family. If truth be told, she was more like an aunt than a first cousin. She and I had so many fun chats on the telephone talking about the past. She remembered everything and everyone. If you wanted to know something about the family, Pauline was your go-to girl. She took charge of our Schroder family reunions and without Pauline, they won' be the same. She was a kind, loving and generous woman and will be missed terribly. The thoughts and prayers of Arnie, myself and our family are extended to her entire family.
With love,
Maryalice, Arnie and family
