Thank you so much for all of your kind words. She was the best aunt a kid could ask for, always had an understanding ear available. She encouraged me when I felt down and she always excepted me for who I was. We always went on fall drives to see the leaves change color this time of year, even on rainy days. It's been an honor being Rhonda's niece and she will be sorely missed for years to come... I love you Aunt Rosa!!
