Our wonderful father, Louis W. Rhodes, age 82, passed to Life Eternal Friday January 5, 2018. Louis was known for his quick wit, the ability to build and fix anything, his love of nature, family, and friends.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
