Dear Tony and family of Rhonda, I just heard yesterday of Rhonda’s passing and am so very, very sorry for your loss. I regret that I have been out of town, and so I couldn’t be there to express my sincere and most heartfelt condolences. I always enjoyed seeing and talking with Rhonda at Ramon’s. She always seemed interested and happy to see everyone. I know she was such a hard worker and a fine person. She will definitely be missed very much. I am praying for all of her loved ones for strength and peace. Thinking of you with love and prayers. Marilyn Lee

Rhonda was an incredible woman, and I’m honored that I had the chance to work with her and her family at Raymon’s. My heart is broken to know she won’t be around and my condolences for her wonderful family that surrounds her. I worked for Rhonda and Tony for a few years at their restaurant and they were like a second family to me. Thank you Rhonda. With love, Stay strong family! ZWK

Dear George family and Tony: I was saddened to learn of Rhonda’s passing. I worked at Bridgeport High when all of the girls attended, all were fine students and Rhonda always set a fine example for her sisters to follow. As years passed, my wife and I would go to Raymond’s for dinner. It was great visiting with Rhonda and reminiscing. Rhonda was a wonderful hard working woman who was loved and respected by all who knew her. God bless and watch over her wonderful family during this most difficult period. Hugh Gainer and family

To Rhonda's Family and Many Friends I offer my Prayers and Deepest Sympathy for Your Loss of This Beautiful Woman. I first met Rhonda in 1995 at Raymon's Restaurant on a Wednesday evening (Italian Night). I had recently been transferred from Washington, DC to the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS) in Clarksburg,WV. Rhonda always made me and everyone she met feel welcome.She was Engaging, Friendly,Kind, and Helpful. She had a Special Connection with me and many others in the CJIS Division since she was a member of the Law Enforcement/ Criminal Justice Community. I Truly Admired and Respected Rhonda. She never forgot where she came from and most important of all was her Honesty in dealing with people and her Genuine Concern for the Well Being of Others. It is the Friends we meet along Life's Path who help us enjoy the journey and Rhonda certainly helped Me and Many others enjoy our Journey. She was a "CLASS ACT" and TRULY will be Missed. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE Sincerely David R. Loesch Retired Assistant Director FBI CJIS

Rhonda thank you for everything you ever done for me and my family and your grandkids. I will be forever greatful for you chance you gave me at Raymon's when you didn't even know me that well when we 1st met. You always told me you seen greatest in me and I didn't understand that at 1st until later on in my years. I enjoyed our time together thanks for always being there for me no matter what. From watching cooking shows together to enjoying are Starbucks we enjoyed each others company like a mom and son would do. When it came to work you push me to the limits cause you knew I could take it and you knew that I would turn into the person I'am today even before I knew you saw the hard work mentality in me. I hope I made you proud as a worker as a son and as father to your grandkids. I will miss you and I will miss our talks, working together, the holidays as a family most of all I will miss my second mom, my best friend. Thru the 17 years of knowing me you never once gave up on me and was always there for me and always treated like a son. It sucks that you are gone but I know you are in a better place I will continue to make you proud and will continue to be the best father I can be for your grandkids. As the tears fall I will end with this thanks again Mom I will love & miss you. Until we meet again.

We were so saddened to hear this. We absolutely loved going to Raymons and talking with Rhonda. She always made us feel like family. She would always ask about my parents and our grandchildren. Raymons was always the first place we would go to after coming back from any out of town trip. Rhonda was always interested in hearing about them . She was truly an amazing person and will be missed terribly.

You are my mother always, there won’t be a moment that I don’t think of you. The smell of brewing coffee will give me comfort, the sound of rain will bring solace, the quiet will echo your spirit and sounds of laughter will console my weary heart. I could never convey how much it meant to be your daughter. Thank you for never giving up on me, loving me effortlessly and giving me the strength you always showed. I will carry you with me always- I’ll always remember you in the waves and upon the sand. You truly will be missed and a moment won’t pass that I will thank you for being my mother.

Rhonda was such a sweet, beautiful lady. We loved going to Raymond's and to be greeted by her smile made an evening out even more enjoyable. Anyone that she trained as a waiter/waitress will be top-notch. She expected only the best. Sincere condolences to those she left behind and may the memories of Rhonda be forever in your hearts. She was definitely an Angel who gained her wings. R.I.P. dearest Rhonda
