    I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious mom. She was truly a joy to be around. I will cherish the lunches I shared with those "Golden Girls" after their work at the Green House and then Market Depot. The dedication and commitment she showed in her ministry was inspirational to everyone around. We go back a long, long way and I am grateful for the example of her Faith and loving friendship that has shaped my life. I hope yo know ho much she is missed. Susan Gudgel Hill

    I didn't know your mother, but I knew you Rhonda and how much your mother meant to you. Always thinking about her and telling stories about her. It doesn't take much to see how much she meant to you and your family. Her energy will live with you forever and she will always be close by.
