The MAYOR even sent his card backstage to me BEFORE the show, saying that he welcomes me back into his town ANYTIME! To me, that's a big deal, and I treasure that welcome. Lori & Ken, Margaret, Kathy and the rest of the staff are to be commended for making me feel like a celebrity! Posters of my concert were in businesses all over town and Lori was turning numerous people away several hours prior to the concert, due to it being a sell-out! She said the next time, we'll book more than one night again. So sorry I already had a booking scheduled, or I WOULD have come back for a second show.

The Grand Theatre REALLY knows how to promote their events with color programs, tickets and posters and simply having the audience who are hungry for the type of shows I do. Many of them follow me wherever I sing and I truly thank them for their dedication. I look forward to going back to The Grand to make more 'new friends' and to reunite with my dearest ones! Thanks, everybody, for helping to create such wonderful memories. I love you.]]> http://cathirhodes.com/news.html#37 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 00:00:00 -0700 The Next Best Thing to Seeing Patsy Cline Perform! - Cathi Rhodes - News http://cathirhodes.com/news.html#36 http://cathirhodes.com/news.html#36 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0700 The Next Best Thing to Seeing Patsy Cline Perform! - Cathi Rhodes - News http://cathirhodes.com/news.html#35 http://cathirhodes.com/news.html#35 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0700 The Next Best Thing to Seeing Patsy Cline Perform! - Cathi Rhodes - News http://cathirhodes.com/news.html#34 And miss the deep tones of your upright bass.
It’s so hard to believe a whole year has passed
Our love for you, Mark, will forever last.

You’re in a better place, this we know is true
And in our hearts is where we hold you.
Together we will be again one day
We still can’t believe that you’ve gone away.

At least you’re now in the arms of our Dad
But we miss you so much and are always so sad.
So watch over us as we remember you
With a family’s love that is so strong and true.]]> http://cathirhodes.com/news.html#34 Sun, 27 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0800 The Next Best Thing to Seeing Patsy Cline Perform! - Cathi Rhodes - News http://cathirhodes.com/news.html#33 http://cathirhodes.com/news.html#33 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0800 The Next Best Thing to Seeing Patsy Cline Perform! - Cathi Rhodes - News http://cathirhodes.com/news.html#32 www.gatewayclipper.com to make reservations for a really FUN day!

Is it one whole month already since we've been without you, sweet one? Can it be? We miss you so much.

Mark Rhodes was not only my baby brother, he was a smiling sweet man who brought happiness to all who knew him. He played upright bass for The Rhodes Brothers Bluegrass Band and also in seven of the ten SOLD OUT stage productions of 'Always...Patsy Cline.' He loved playing pool and riding his Harley.

Although he had asthma all his life, he still sang and played his music with such gusto! He was amazing for a self-taught musician, as all my brothers are. I am VERY proud of all of them.

Mark will ALWAYS be remembered with much love and respected for his talent. Please keep my family in your prayers. God Bless You.

IF TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME

If tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see.
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand

And said my place was ready, in heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye, For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do, it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all that we had shared, and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized, that this could never be, for emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you." Today your life on earth is past, but here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day is the same way, there's no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful, so trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things, you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven, and now at last you're free. So won't you come and take my hand, and celebrate my life with me

So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NOT, HOW DID HE DIE, BUT HOW DID HE LIVE?

Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are units to measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not what was his church nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever-ready with a word of good cheer
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the picture in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he pased away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

REST AND REWARD

The Bible leaves no doubt that there is life after death. Humanity is created for eternity. The earthly life is but an overture, a prelude of reality to come. Blessed -- happy -- to be envied -- are the dead who 'die in the Lord.' They are people who, during their life, believed in Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord. When they exchange the temporal for the eternal, their work is done forever. Thy finally have rest. All the troubles and tensions of their earthly existence are behind them. They have arrived at their eternal destination. They are HOME!

Please keep our family in your prayers, especially for my dear mother, who is the ROCK of our loving, close family. Thank you for each and every prayer.
