So sorry for your loss. Rhonda was an incredible lady that will be dearly missed.
Rhonda was a friend of mine for over 55 years. We went to school together during our teen years and had many good times. We lost contact for awhile while we were raising our families but the last ten years we shared many more memories. She was my best friend and even after all the years apart we never skipped a beat. I will miss you so my friend. Recently for her birthday I sent a wind chime with a redbird on it. Beautiful and I have always been told that a redbird visit is from someone in heaven. I got me one too at the same time. I can look out my front window and see my redbird and think of you. All my condolences to Bert and girls all of their lovely families. Condolences to Steve McClatchey and Marilyn and families. God be with you and bring you much comfort. Till we meet again Rhonda. Love you.
