My dear true friend, Godspeed in His white light on your journey home.
Wishing you tailwinds and happy landings always.
A dear friend during law school, always happy to share her experience and sage advice! So sorry for her and all the family!
Just hearing about Rhonda’s passing. What a kind, funny creative woman! I enjoyed having her in my summer storytelling workshops. She took 3 of the week long ones and her stories and way with others was always welcomed. We all loved her- and of course her delicious coconut cake! I received a lovely note from her in August, telling me about her adventures with The Artist Way and saying how storytelling enriched her life. My sympathies to you, Tim, all the family, and to all who loved her.
I am very sad to hear this. Having been my guest mother in ’91/’92, Rhonda had a big influence in my life. I might be forgotten and today I deeply regret not being able to keep contact upright. But she was always in my mind, remembering her as a great, lovely person. May she rest in peace in the hands of god.
I kindly like to express my condolences to Tim (though we haven’t met), all the family, and especially Judy Lewis and Todd Lewis.
