Dear Rhonda and John,
We were so sorry to hear of the passing of your sweet mom. We both have fond memories of her at SCHS and outside of school as well. She always had a smile on her face and displayed such a positive spirit. Hoping all the memories of her will help during this difficult time. Hugs, Mike and Jill Weigandt
