    Saddened to be reading the passing of Rhonda. My memories stem from the dental office years but didn’t stop there as Rhonda always stopped and acknowledged me with a hello and a few words wherever we crossed paths in MJ. Such a beautiful lady! Such a beautiful soul! Sending my deepest sympathies and prayers to her family and friends feeling her loss.

    Walked to and from Riverview Collegiate hundreds of times with Rhonda during our high school years. I can still hear her distinctive laugh when something funny was said, which was often. My heartfelt condolences to the Harding family, especially Millie, or Mrs. Harding as I referred to her whenever she warmly greeted me. So sorry for your loss. Rest in peace Rhonda.

      Ever since hearing of Rhonda’s sudden passing I have felt completely heartsick. My sincere condolences go out to her family and all who loved this beautiful woman. We shared many of the same classes at high school and I always enjoyed her shining radiance. I will remember her as a gentle caring soul who always made me smile. God Bless you Rhonda… heaven has added an incredible light.

    On behalf of all of us at SCRAPS we extend our sincere condolences to Brian, Rhonda’s family & friends who are grieving the loss of such a wonderful individual. We share with you all in this unbelievably difficult time.

    Rhonda was such an amazingly talented & kindhearted person – always helping & creating beauty around her. She was a respected & much loved part of our SCRAPS family. Rhonda was sunshine …… a talented creator & designer supplying adorable items for our “9-Lives Boutique”. The cutest ever “Sock Cats”, bunnies, themed teddies, & baby gifts are being enjoyed throughout so many homes because Rhonda loved to bring smiles. During the lonely times of COVID residents in a local special care home were delighted to receive their own special adorable Cat to cuddle with. Thank you Rhonda for creating those smiles & unknowingly bringing so much comfort.

    Donating her time & supplies Rhonda created so many beautiful items that were sold in our Boutique to help to raise funds for the many homeless Cats & kittens that SCRAPS cares for. The popular & cuddly sock Cats, bean bag rabbits, dolls & teddies brought comfort, smiles & love shared.

    Rhonda was compassionate, kind & beautiful on the inside & out. She loved the antics of the tiny, busy little rescued kittens innocently unaware of their harrowing pasts. She felt special compassion to the challenges of Cats with special needs like “Harper & Henley” who only recently she created several custom little coats for to cover chemical burn scars they had suffered before coming into our care.
    Rhonda always was ready to lend a hand wherever she was needed.

    We all miss her terribly & share in your loss. In such sadness that surrounds everyone now, Rhonda leaves behind so many wonderful sunny memories, special gifts, kindnesses. She was an example of how one gentle, quiet person through ongoing acts of kindness made a quiet but profound impact on the world around her.

    On behalf of our SCRAPS Team, we offer the comfort of friendship to Rhonda’s family & all those remembering this beautiful person in the time she was gifted to us. So very thankful for the time we had ………..
