I never had the honor of meeting Rhonda - we only corresponded via email/phone call as she was the account rep for my account with TMC. She was incredibly kind and always was so positive through our communications. Her signature read "Attitudes are contagious! Is yours worth catching?" I can truly say that hers was - I will miss working with her. My heart and condolences go out to her friends and family.

What a wonderful loving woman Rhonda was. She will be deeply missed and I am a better person to have known her. She was fun loving, deeply spiritual and had a smile that could brighten any room. Even though it's been many years since we actually saw each other, I though of her often and remembered her smile. I will miss you my friend.....until we meet again.
