Ronda was my sister-in-law. My greatest memories are all the birthday parties. She also had my kids over for sleepovers and Danny´s girls also. She used to spoil the girls and do girly things with them! Rest in the arms of the Lord dear sister.

Rhonda and I were friends throughout our school time. We hung out together, played Bobby Sox together. My best memory of her and I was when I was catching for her during a game and when she pitched she pitched hard and fast, one of her balls bounced and nailed me in the thigh it left a welt the size of the ball and a bruise even bigger. We laughed about that forever. Rhonda had a big heart and would do anything for anyone. She will truly be missed. Rest in peace my dear friend.
