Reading Harry Potter Aloud
Rhonda Ridge Rasmussen read to her husband, Floyd, just about every night before going to bed. His eyes are bad, he says, and she enjoyed reading to him. The couple had just started a new book, one of the Harry Potter series.
There were so many other things she was looking forward to when she died, Floyd Rasmussen said of his wife, a former Sunday school teacher. For one thing, Mrs. Rasmussen, 44, who worked in the Army's budget office in the Pentagon, had not developed the photographs the couple took on a trip to Europe a month earlier.
And the Rasmussens were planning to move back to California, where they met at a church dance on Dec. 31, 1973. Mr. Rasmussen, who also works at the Pentagon, said he may still head out West without her. "It's a better place," he said. There aren't as many sad memories as there are here."
Rhonda you are never forgotten. Today we remember and celebrate your life and your service. We honor your sacrifice and pray the Lord will surround your family and friends with peace and comfort. Rest in peace

The first time I heard about your story,my heart broke......
Your husband can never touch your body,even only part of it...Your husband can never hear the story you read to him every night before sleeping...
He must be very sad and miss you...
And think of this,the tears wet my eyelashes again...
God will perceive your ache and comfort to you and your family!
