Dr. Lelia Gaston Rhodes

Condolences to the family of Mrs. Rhodes. Our days at HCC will be forever treasured. G. Wallace

Ms. Lelia was one of the most intelligent ladies that I have ever worked with and I loved to converse with her. She worked with me with the Election Commissioner's Association of Mississippi and I greatly admired her genuine spirit. I thought so much of her and I know she will surely be missed. My sincere condolences to the family.

My sincere condolences and prayers for the family of Dr. Lelia Gaston Rhodes. May the Lord comfort and strengthen you during these difficulty days.

Mama Rhodes was a wonderful lady, who set a great example for young women to live a life of sharing, loving and humble in spirit. We worked to get at Greater St James's M.B. church in many capacities, it was a great experience for me. She was my second Mom, and I am missing her now and forever.
