Dear Les and family, I'm so very sad to hear the passing of Rhonda. Les Thank you for calling me to let me know of her passing. Rhonda and I had a lot of fun walking from her house to mine in Howard with our little radios just a playing and we would sing~~~~~I think the one thing that I can still hear is her Laugh. She laughed hilarious at me or whatever she thought was funny. God Bless all of you and may God carry you through all the days a head. Rest in Peace my friend.
