Remembering you Rhonda with your beautiful smile and infectious laugh whenever you entered a room sometimes bring tears to my eyes. These thoughts also bring joy believing you are with other angels smiling and enjoying the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. Ecclesiastes 12:6-7 KJV. May love and peace forever be with you until we meet again, my beloved niece and cousin.

Rhonda, we will forever love and miss you as long as we live. Your light still touch our lives. My Great Grand Son was born on April 16, 2020, your cousin Eric's Grandson, Aries Xavier Sears.

Last year and every year since God called you home on April 16, 2014, we have felt so much sadness around this time, but on April 16, 2020, God blessed us with Aries who has a smile like yours. Our sadness turned to joy.

One day we will be joined together in heaven and sing praises to God, forever and ever. We truly love and miss you, Rhonda. ❤

Rhonda, is what I called her was like a spark of light. She could brighten and bring life into a room when she walked in with a big smile and her catchy spontaneous laugh. Family, friends and total strangers would laugh, not knowing why. She had that God given burst of life that affected others. Love you, my niece, forever. Never, ever will forget you. ✝
