Dear Joel, I worked with your beautiful late wife, Ronda, for years at Odyssey Hospice. She was an amazing soul, a fantastic professional we laughed about so many similar life experiences. I wanted to reach out to her today and when her number didn't work I googled her...thinking I would find where perhaps the two of you might have moved. I am still in shock to see her obituary and deeply saddened for your loss and that of your entire family. Please know I am keeping her memory in my heart always, Lesleigh Tolin [email protected]

We will always feel the love everytime we think of you. ❤
