Ronda Monroe

Angels walk among us. If you knew Ronda you know how true that is. Ronda was my best friend, my confidant, like the "older" sister I never had and always wanted. I can not even begin to say how much I miss her and the emptiness I feel each day without her in my life. Life has a way of showing each and everyone of us just how precious it is. I was shown how precious it is everytime we got together. She would always have a story about her grandkids or about one of her nieces or her sister or mom. Not always were they funny and roses, but real and never sugar-coated. That is just the kind of person Ronda was. Because she never wanted anyone else to see her suffer with all she had to deal with, she made the most of each day and always tried to put on the biggest and best smile. No matter what. She had too many obstacles to overcome. Now she can soar with her fellow angels. And, may all those that she touched in life take comfort in knowing she now has more time to be with us. Ronda will be with each of us everyday. In our hearts, on our mind, in our mind's eye, and sitting on our shoulder. Giving us that shove when uncertainty comes to mind. Helping us help others. Just as she always did. Ronda will always be my Angel. Maybe gone in the physical, but NEVER EVER forgotten.

Ronda, I miss you. Adore you. And will never ever be able to forget all the lessons you taught me. I Love You, My Friend. You were taken way too soon from all that love you. No one has the answers as to "WHY." A question I ponder everyday. I take comfort in knowing you are with me as I go through each day and cheer me on when I can't do it for myself. I see your smile everyday. I hear your laughter everyday. I feel your excitement everyday. I miss you horribly everyday.

I guess I must end this somewhere but I could go on and on about Ronda. She touched so many and asked for nothing in return. She cared for many and wanted nothing in return. She loved so deeply and asked only that we all loved one another.

My friend, until I see you again..Soar with the angels and be free as you could never be in the physical. Share the sunrises and sunsets with all around you. Everytime I stop and smell the roses, I know it is you that inspired me to do so.

I miss you my Ree Rah Roo.

I got to meet Ronda at my sister Kellys in springfield, she seemed very nice, she was out going and loved her family, I would like to give her family my deepest condolences.

I truly believe that my cousin Ronda was hero, to everyone who took the time to know her. she didnt stop living because she had breast cancer! she took it and beat it. She was an amazing care take to aunt darlene. No words can explain how much Iam going to miss her and that smile that was always on her face. I will never forget this year's family reunion she put on and doing line dances with her...or taking aunt sue to have knee surgery together and making each other laugh the WHOLE time we were there and aunt sue while she was there....Ill keep my memories close to my heart and the comfort of knowing shes watching over me as a guardian angel and knowing I will one day get to see that smile agian!! I love you Ronda...

My aunt nauni was my favorite aunt.I love her so very much.She was a hero to me,my sister, my mom and her children and her grandbabies.She was always there for me and everyone she came in contact with.If you even only met her once you were her family.She toke me and my family in when she didnt need to.The biggest thing I will miss about her is her smile and how she was always happy no matter what went wrong in her life.She never let her breast cancer get her down.She will always be my hero and I will always love her and remember her happiness and joyfullness.And I will always remember our days together and everything we've done together.I love you aunt nauni <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3!!!!

My sister was a rose among a garden of flowers! she brought beauty and love with her everywhere she went. I hope everyone that knew her will remember and cherish the good times they shared with her. Ronda was not one to want us to cry for her, but to rejoice knowing that she will be waiting to see us again as awnry as ever,with open arms to embrace us as the ANGEL she truly was! Ronda,I will always and forever love you and hold you close to my heart as not only my sister, but my best friend.

I pray that Ronda's family finds comfort and peace during this difficult time.

The passing of my beautiful friend Ronda is so bitter sweet. She is rejoicing with Our Father in heaven now and is no longer in pain or will have to suffer the agony of cancer treatment. However, my selfish part wants her back in the worse way and I feel panicked when I think about not talking to her anymore.

She knew me better than I knew myself and she was truly a rock for me, as I pray I was for her. I've cried a river and just when I feel I don't have a tear left, I find more as I feel a huge hole in my heart and simply hollow inside.

Ronda was one of the most upbeat and energetic people I know and her ambition to get through school despite her fight with cancer should be an inspiration to all. She loved her children like no one else could love a child and those grandchildren of hers were the light of her life.

I know she will be missed by so many people and if you never got a chance to know Ronda or took the time to spend with her, you really missed out. Because she was truly a very special person and I will forever miss this woman. I'm not even entirely sure how I'm going to go on without her in my life, but our Father in Heaven will help me find my way and I pray that her memory will NEVER be forgotten and that I get blessed with her "Angel Presence" many times over my remaining years. And when it's my turn to meet Our Father, I can't wait to give her a big hug and an "I love you and missed you" and continue the amazing friendship we shared here on this earth.

I love you Ronda...and I will miss you and honor you forever.

Your loving friend,

Robyn DiMichele
