    Bob and family,
    I was thinking about Rhonda today and the good times we shared working together at the MSBML and how we hung out together a lot. I was looking her up on fb to try to get in touch and learned the news of her passing. We did not keep in touch over the past years. I was deeply saddened to learn the news today. She was a wonderful friend. I remember when you all started dating and got married, Derrek was born etc. She loved you deeply.......Praying for your comfort and the children's comfort and her mother, Shane too. (she always talked about Shane) Praying for you all......much love to all. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

    I was saddened to hear of Rhonda's passing. She hired me at the Medical Board an essentially helped me with a new career. I am forever grateful. She showed herself to be a good leader and was respected by those she worked with and on behalf of at the agency.

    I am lifting the name of her family in prayer and claiming God's grace, mercy and cover as they move forward.
