To Rita, Ron, Roxanne and the Cormier Family,
Wishing you great condolence and sending prayers for the loss of Rhonda.
Rhonda was remarkable, even as a young girl and woman, for her smiles, her laughter, her talent as a ballet and jazz dancer, and her enthusiasm and zest as a WEBO cheerleader. Everyone loved her. It is no suprise that her talents and warm personality continued into adulthood and her professional career. I had the honor of seeing Rhonda again and hugging her at our 2014 WEBO high school reunion. Rhonda spoke highly and warmly, as always of her entire family, including nieces and nephews. We reminisced about Woodland School, Karen White's Dance Studio, and your beloved mother and grandmother "Mimee," Heaven has gained an angel in Rhonda, albeit way too soon.

Rhonda was well respected and loved by many in the FICP community! Always a true professional with a graceful way about her. So many memories of fun times together, especially our weekend at the Broadmoor for a Philip Myers performance. She was always the calming personality of the group, and I considered her a true friend. The Lord has received a very special and lovely child! Our condolences and prayers for comfort and peace go out to her family. We loved her for so many reasons and will dearly miss her.

I had the honor of knowing Rhonda and working with her. She was with Sun Life and I was with Four Seasons Hotels. Rhonda was a professional and such a nice classy lady. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting with her about life, her home, family and gardening. I'll always remember her laugh. I am shocked and sadden by her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. June Locke
