Not sure what to say?

I'm so sad---Ramona was my dearest friend while I was at the Rehearsal Club and for a time afterward. She was filled with life. Once, she considered writing a play about her life, and she asked me to help with it--I wonder if she ever finished.

Ramona was my 1st cousin. I will never forget her. She spent a lot of time in Long Island, New York when she was making her debut into her dream of becoming a star. Guess what? She was my star! I enjoyed her personality, and her love that she shared in all that she did. She was multi-talented. I have her 'Skinny Dippin', 'Rhythm Rhapsody', and 'I Love Making Love To You', songs on CD. I can imagine her singing them as I listen to them quite often. It took me this long to pen my feelings in...

Ramona lived in The Rehearsal Club at the same time I was there, back in the mid-70s. At that time, she was singing backup for Barry Manilow. Ramona was beautiful, inside and out, with a wonderful sense of humor. I will never forget her.

Ramona Lynn Stubblefield...I will never forget you.

To the Stubblefield Family! I send my condolences! May she rest in peace! May God give you comfort in this time of berievement!

I am a long time friend of Paul Stubblefeild ( from Cleveland, Ohio and now Vegas ). My prayers go out to The Stubblefield family.R.I.P. Ramona Brooks.

My heart is so very saddened at the passing of my BEST childhood friend. I was always so captivated by her incredible talent and beauty. We shared many fond memories growing up. I was so incredibly proud watching my best friend perform with Barry Manilow on the TV show "Midnight Special" with Wolfman Jack.
Family, may we reflect on the joy she brought into our lives. Rest in peace, my friend.

Ramona and Pearl, what a smile!

I am so sorry for your loss. Ramona was a great talent. We were friends from living at The Rehearsal club as young entertainers and I remember wen she first went out on the road with Barry Manilow. I thought of her often through the years and had hoped we would reconnect again. I am sorry that won't happen. My prayers and thoughts go out to your family.

Ramona was a beautiful lady, a gifted musician and a wonderful entertainer. It was a pleasure to have known her, and I am very sorry she died so young. Please accept my sincere condolences.
