Sorry to hear of Rhonda's passing. We feel relief for her and all of you knowing that the suffering and agony for her are over and find hope that today a new life has begun with joy and no more pain or sorrow. She was such a vibrant person as witnessed by the influence she has left with her family. Remember the good times.
