The Love I have for you will remain for all eternity.

Your story is a treasured gift. XXX

In memory of Auntie Rhonda ❤️

Mum may you find the peace you craved, you will be in our hearts tomorrow and always xx

Our dear friend’s mum and nan - thinking of you all on Wednesday, you are In our thoughts

Dear Auntie Rhonda, a lifetime of memories, too many to list, so many to share.
Forever in our hearts xx

The day I met you Rhonda, I thought you were quite "cool"-

A smart & sassy lady who was nobody's fool.

We had a lot in common, that was plain to see

& soon became the best of friends, for all eternity.

We shared much joy & laughter & some dancing too,

& now & then a little tear, but they were only few

For we sang away the blues & got the paintbrush out

& you produced some lovely work, of that there is no doubt.

So now the memories held fast could really not be fonder,

Thank you, I will not forget my dearest, dearest Rhonda.

With love always, Diane xxx

Mum was a character, far more resilient than she let on, her passions were her dogs, her friends and her cigs. She found her true vocation as a primary school teacher and was able to deeply connect with the children, leaving many with very fond memories of that time. I remember the pressure she put herself under to make her school plays, (more like a west end show), Dave and I spent many years dressed up in costumes she had made, reciting lines and acting out roles as a dress rehearsal for the end of year school performance . She was an incredibly talented artist and although as a perfectionist she didn't always like what she created my homework that she illustrated often got rave reviews :). We of course will miss her but we have our memories and a lifetime of reflection xx

We go back a long way Rhonda- I met you as a newly qualified teacher at St Benedict’s Primary School- you looked out for me and ensured I got home safely. Your warmth and kindness towards the children and the relationships you built with them was magical. The Owl Who Was Afraid of The Dark was a favourite of yours I seem to remember. Our paths crossed again at Hilltop- you always made us laugh and the children laugh. We became friends, shared a love of all things canine and shared the odd cigarette in your conservatory. You leave us with very fond memories of adventures and challenges shared.

In memory of a lovely lady, Rhonda and a very special Nan. I will always remember the magical stories you would tell your great grand children and seeing their fascinated faces as you told them. You will be very sadly missed and Always in our hearts x
