Rhonda was a brilliant mind. She answered every question my children and I asked. However, I think her greatest gift was her friendship. Forty years ago she followed me home from church on her bicycle. I have loved her ever since. She walked beside me through joy and tears. I can not thank God enough for the gift of her love. Save me the room next to yours Rhonda, see you in the by and by.....💙💛🧡❤💜

I was shocked when I heard of Rhonda's death! She was a good friend & a fine Christian! I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye & I told her I would always have her back! She supported & believed in me on a previous occasion when others at a small church board meeting could
not see my point of view. Rhonda supported me & gave scripture verses
to support my idea. I promised her I would be willing to come to her aid
at any time!
She is in a wonderful place now!
