Hi mom, It is me, your youngest son David. I miss you soo much. Things have been really rough lately and I miss that I always had you to turn to when things are this way. But one thing that has kept allot of people going is your grandson. mom you would be so proud of me.. I know it. He is beautiful, kind, caring, sympathetic, just how you raised us. He is everything I could have asked for. He asks about you all the time and I tell him stories about you. It is crazy to think he is almost 5. 2 months... 2 months is all you needed and you could have held him. Im sorry mom. I miss you so much and just wish I could hold you one more time. I LOVE YOU and keep on watching out for us ok? especially dad. He misses you so much. And please say a prayer for Erin and I. god knows how many times I have prayed to you about us. I love and miss you mom!

My dear friend Rhonda - I am thinking of you today on your birthday, as I do so many days throughout the year. So many stories to my children start out "When Rhonda & I...", and I miss you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May you be comforted by the peace and love of heaven - and we will see each other again.
Love, Lesley Stevenson

Happy New Year my dear friend I know you are in heaven rejoicing with your maker but I sure miss you knowing I will never again see your beautiful face or get together and talk with you, I thought of you always thinking one day we would get together again. I am saddened I did not take the opportunity. The Lord had a better plan for you. I thought of you on your Birthday and of course the Holidays.
I love you Rhonda

Dear Sherrill & Strangways Families

My heart hurts for you and I know it is a small comfort to know that Rhonda is in a much better place. I pray that the Lord heals your hearts and enables you to smile when you think of your wife, mother, sister, daughter. I remember when she was born and even then she was blond and beautiful and such a good baby too! You will continue to be in my prayers.

May God be with you always,

Donna Chapman
