Jim and I will miss seeing and talking with Rhetta at the Sr Center and at the HSGA shows. She will be a bright spot in our lives forever with her lovely smile and openness. It was such a pleasure to know her.

Art and I send our love and sincere sympathy to Rhetta's family and to Jay. Rhetta was my sister and best friend in music, playing ukulele by my side as I played Hawaiian steel guitar for many years. I loved her and miss her so much and I will continue to play the Hawaiian music she loved so much in her honor.

Sincere sympathy to Jay and all the family! We enjoyed meeting her at
Winchester and loved listening to her play and watching her hula-----what a great lady. We will miss her this year but thankful God had our paths cross so we got to know her. Love and prayers.

Rhetta was an amazing lady! She worked at the base with my Dad who couldn't say enough nice things about her. She stayed in touch with my folks throughout the years. We were blessed to have this special lady in our lives. We should all aspire to have such an active life and to age as gracefully. May God bless your family and comfort you in this time of loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. Rhetta was a wonderful person. It was a priviledge knowing her and sharing music with her. I'll miss her!!!!!
