Rhonda was a tireless advocate for metastatic breast cancer research after being diagnosed 3-1/2 years ago. She volunteered with Hope Scarves and was instrumental in ensuring women treated in Muskegon County received Hope Scarves as part of their treatment. Throughout her experience with cancer her honest, vulnerable truth helped others understand MBC, especially the importance of further testing and advocacy for women with dense breast tissue. She also traveled to Washington DC to encourage more federal funding for MBC research and participated in the Living Beyond Breast Cancer Conference.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date.

Kay, Ron, Beverly, Brad, Austin, Sophie- I'm truly so sorry hear about Rhonda. She was a very special person in our lives. And will never be forgotten. The best memory I have is her singing at aunt Phyllis"s graveside burial. She had a beautifully voice like a song bird. I'll always cherish and treasure precious memories of her close to my heart. We'll meet her again with open arms and everlasting love. May you rest in peace, Rhonda. Tell everyone I say hi, issued and love them. It's not a good bye. It's see you later.. I'll always love and miss you. You were special to my mom and my family and I.

My deepest sympathies to Rhonda's family. Rhonda touched many lives, and I will cherish many fond childhood memories. In Rhonda's advocacy for metastatic breast cancer she educated and encouraged many, including myself, to advocate for our own health and further testing. Her dedication and passion made a difference and I'm sure has saved lives. Thank you, and be thou at peace my dear friend, Rhonda.
