Kyle and family, I went to school at Noble and then Portland HS with your mom. I remember staying overnight at your Smith grandparents. And like most young girls, we would giggle and laugh until your grandmother would come in and tell us to sleep. Your mom was a wonderful person then and I can only imagine that she was more wonderful the rest of her life. She touched my life in ways unknown. She was a good friend. But with me living in Wisconsin, we lost track over time. I recently wrote your mom a letter, I wanted to let her know I cared, and I have valued our friendship.
Blessings to all of you.

Rhonda's Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you. Rhonda was very special. I worked with her at Paulding County Hospital, and we always thought it was cool that we shared the same birthday. We didn't talk as much as we should have, but we always talked on our birthday.

To Rhonda's family, I was so sorry to hear about Rhonda. You are in my thoughts and prayers and although your loved one is gone, she will never be forgotten. I met Rhonda at Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne while attending medical record classes and then later we attended meetings together. She always struck me as a kind, gentle lady.

To Rhonda's Family - Rhonda was a very giving person and loved you, her family, very much. I could tell that by just talking to her and the lengths she would go to spend time with all of you. She was such a hard worker and just a great person to know. She will be missed very much.

Kyle and family, Rhonda and I worked together at SVR. You could tell she was very family oriented. She loved to share stories and pictures of you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
