We were so sorry to hear about Rhonda. We know you loved her dearly and will miss her very much.
We remember her growing up as a child in Salisbury
and playing with our boys. We do not have your address(would like it if possible)to send you a note. We are thinking about you and keeping you in our prayers.
Love to you,
Louise and Jack

Thoughts and prayers to Jess, her granparents, and the rest of her family. May she finally have peace.
Love,

I met Rhonda when I was 19, she was my sister in law. That was 25 years ago. Even though our family status changed, we remained friends. Regretfully, we lost touch the last couple years, after I moved. I will always remember the friendship we shared and the common bond we shared.

I will never forget our trip to D.C. and Virginia Beach. Justin was so excited to see his Aunt Rhonda after she moved to Richmond. We met Aunt Rhonda and Jessica at the D.C. airport. We walked all over D.C. (that was when you could actually drive in front of the Whitehouse). Aunt Rhonda had mentioned to her nephew, Justin the dinosaurs they had at the Smithsonian. Justin who was almost 5 at the time would not stop asking her about it. We walked and walked until Aunt Rhonda found the building the dinosaur bones were in and Justin got to see them. She would do anything for the people she loved. Jessica and Justin made sand castles on the beach. We stayed in a hotel with a balcony where we spent most of the night talking and listening to the Ocean. I will hold those memories in my heart forever.

Rhonda had a very kind heart and was such a sweet soul. She loved her friends and family very much. She was a very loyal friend. I will miss her sweet voice and our talks.

Jessica, Cricket, Pete, Lisa, Rick and Casey, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Tami and Justin

Christine and Pete,
We want you to know we are thinking of you and wish we could be there for you, however, things are not so that we can attend Rhonda's service. Please know we think of you often and with love, I wish I could send you a card, but do not know your home address. My mother especially wants you to know she is thinking of you, she remembers the pain of losing a child. Please give us a call when you have the time and feel like you would like to talk. Rhonda fought the good fight and now will be in peace and without pain. Our love to you all,
Jerry Starke, Shirley Lewis

I met Rhonda in 1989 at JCPenney here in Richmond. I will always remember her smile and the stories she would often share with us at work. Her sense of humor was priceless. Rhonda, a beautiful person in which I enjoyed working with.I know she is in Heaven and is not suffering anymore. Rhonda is one of our newest Angels now watching over us.

Rhonda was my best friend and the sweetest most caring person I have ever met in my life. Rhonda is/was (will always be) my first borns Godmother. His name is Tom Davis and he loved her so much. We were next door neighbors at one time and 'little Tommy' ( now 26 ) frequently was at Aunt Rhonda's back door, with a grin on his face, looking for her fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. We all loved her so much. Tommy's daughter Marin (my Granddaughter) went to Rhonda the first time she saw her, with open arms. Marin only does that to people she knows. That was a beautiful sight!

I know Rhonda is in a better place now and planting flowers for God. She is out of that bed and happy once again. I just find it hard to accept that I can no longer have conversations with her . We can never take our vacation we talked about.. and so on.. I know these are selfish thoughts but I am human. I love her so much!

My condolences go out to the entire family... You are all in my thoughts and prayers. All of you are wonderful people and I am blessed to know you. We will all be with Rhonda again one day...until then we are all here for each other... Pete, Christine, Lisa, Rick, Casey, Jessica and David... Kim..

God Bless .. with all my heart

I didn't know Rhonda or her family, but I had the honor of meeting her once. I am a phlebotomist that drew her blood when she was recently hospitalized. In the few moments that I chatted with her she touched my heart with her sweet countenance. I know that she is in heaven and not suffering any more. I see so many patients every day, but no one impressed me with like Rhonda did with her attitude and trust in the Lord. She will surely be missed here.....

I never saw my Aunt Rhonda too much, though it never hinted a lack of concern. I can't really remember the last time I saw her, but I clearly remember her voice on the phone almost weekly in the past two years. I spoke to her often, I was able to tell her anything I felt like. She seemed like one of the few, yet remote, people who had been able to understand me; never giving me any frustration like much of my family. I sit here wondering to myself why God would give such a sweet Woman the burden of cancer so many times. He was not testing; testing was long gone. It was her time; her time to move on. She was needed in heaven, where I know she is despite many familiar echoes of bitter brutality toward her unfortunate passing. All I know is that I loved my aunt, and I continue to love her, and hope she is enjoying heaven as much as I believe she might.

Rhonda was my sister-in-law, even though I considered her to be more of a sister to me. I have known Rhonda for 28 years and have always come to her for advice and comfort. I always knew that no matter what happened in my life, Rhonda was always there for me and loved me unconditionally. She was my rock! Words cannot express the immense feeling of loss that I am experiencing now. I can't imagine my life without her, but I know she is in a better place now and no longer has to suffer the wrath of cancer in her life. My thoughts and prayers are with you all right now. All my love...

I went to school with Rhonda in North Carolina. I have very fond memories of her. At Patterson Elementary School, we played Batman and Robin with Wanda Mink, Robin Cruse and others. I remember Rhonda's pool birthday party in Briarwood Terrace when we were teenagers. She was a very sweet person and I still remember her sweet, soft voice. I did homehealth for several years and her grandmother and aunt were patients of mine. That's when I heard of all the medical problems she was having. I think she must have been a very strong person and I am sorry I didn't keep in touch. You have my deepest sympathy.
