No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

My son, Randy Bivens, went to school with Rhonda and knew her personally, He couldn't say enough good things about Rhonda and was crushed to hear that she is no longer with us. She is in a better place--no more pain and with the Lord.

I am so sorry for your loss. Huntington Disease is a terrible disease and I know what you all went through with this. My husband has HD and taking care of him is so hard on everyone. With the person with HD, the family and losing your love one little bit every day. I know Rhonda is in heaven and free from HD. My prayers are with you all. God bless!

Joy,
I'm truly saddened to hear of Rhonda's passing and I know through all of your dedicated time with her over the past several years it's hard to accept that she's gone, but also that she's in a better place & not suffering anymore. My heart goes out to you and I'm sure Rhonda can't wait to be re-united with you in Heaven..

Joy - we are so sorry to hear about the loss of Rhonda. May the Lord be with you during this difficult time. Just know that she is now in heaven and is at peace and no longer suffering. You can find comfort in the fact that Mike is "showing her the ropes" in heaven. If you need anything let us know.
