Rhonda, although your time was shortened, you taught us how to live and die with love, hope and faith. You fought the hardest fight with dignity, strength and courage. You were a great Mom , friend and teacher who touched many lives. For years, you were the backbone of GCH special Ed department and the great peacemaker. Cancer didn't win. God and Rhonda won. And He said, "Well done they faithful servant. I'm taking you home." I will keep Bradley and all of your sweet family in my prayers. Love.
