Dear Jan, Jessie and Josh:
I am so sad to read this news. I have such warm memories of the time we spent at Jessie and Josh’s wedding. My thoughts are very much with you all.
Dear Jan and family, I am so sorry to hear your tragic news. What a huge shock and loss for you all. Having met Dan on only one occasion, at the wedding of Josh and Jessie a few years ago, I can appreciate how valuable he was to you, and how deeply you will all miss him. My condolences and prayers are with you.
Jan, Josh, Jessie, So sad to hear about this…what a tragedy. Praying for God’s sustaining mercy for you all. Louise
Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family during this time….although we did not know Dan we are close to his son Josh & his wife Jessie…..
Blessing to you all….
Mrs. Rhodes, I know you don’t know me but wanted to tell you about visiting with Dan on Monday at the Dairy Queen. He told me about the Church announcing the trip to the Holy Land. He was so excited about that. I believe him to be one of the best Christians I have ever met and my husband and I will miss him. My prayers are for you and your familly. God bless you Dan.
My family and I were deeply saddened to hear the news of such tragic accident. Brother Rhodes, as I have always known him, was a close friend of my family. I cherish memories of having dinner with his family at our house after church when I was growing up. I also remember visiting his sawmill with my dad and touring their house before they finished building it when I was younger. He will be missed by all who were blessed to have known him. Mrs. Jan, Josh, & April I am truly sorry for your loss.
Jan, I am so sad to hear of your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family. Tom and I will hold you in our prayers. Debra
