Dear Debbie,
This is Rhonda Tilson. Now Rhonda Maple. My mom, Imogene, called me today and told me of your mother's passing. I am so sorry to hear that.
You and I were best friends in Park City when we both lived on Denver Dr. I have thought of you so many times over the years and even have a school picture of you and a picture you and I had taken in the picture booth at Joyland.
My parents, Nevin and Imogene still live in the same house. Ronald lives on Frontenac and Richard lives on Denver about two houses down from where you lived. I am still married to Gary and we live right outside of Houston.
I would love to talk to you! My cell phone: 281-961-4752. Home: 281-361-8071. Email: [email protected] If you call and don't get me PLEASE leave a message.
I'm sure Bill and Kelly will remember the Tilson's. Cindy too. My parent's phone number is 316-744-2286 and mom would be tickled to hear from you as well.
Once again, I am very sorry to hear about Janet. Please take care and I hope to hear from you.

Rhonda Tilson Maple 2/12/12
