    I remember Rhonda in grade school, trying to keep up with everyone else. If you spent a lot of time with Cheryl, you would be there when Rhonda called.  She always remembered who I was.  Social life, friends and family were so important to her.  She always seemed frail and her love for life is a testement to how long she and how well she lived it.  I know you all loved her so much and I'm sure it was returned tenfold.  I know there were ups and downs but on the rare occation I saw or talked to her she was always happy.  If you ever doubted that people thought Rhonda was anything but a full fledged member of the Huhs family you can forget that.  You all made it clear that she mattered. I know she leaves a huge void in your lives.  I hope your faith will get you through.  I will think of Rhonda in heaven, filling in everyone on all the news and keeping up with everybody.   My thoughts and prayers are with you all.    Penny

    I took care of Rhonda many times at Liberty Hospital.  She was a very special lady.  I always enjoyed taking her.  I loved her attitude when she was there.  She always just did what the doctors said so she could get better.  It was a extreme pleasure getting to know her and talk about Minnie Mouse and her sweet baby doll.  She will be greatly missed.

    Dear Iris & family,When we gathered Christmas afternoon, Mom informed us of Rhondas condition and the tough decision, Iris, you were going to have to make.  I'm so thankful that you didn't have to make that decision, that God in his almighty wisdom took care of that for you.  I know she had a wonderful Christmas being with Jesus and all of her loved ones who had passed before her.  I remember so well the times we spent growing up being together whether it was at Aunt Jo's & Uncle Mikes or family reunions, weddings etc.  She knew all of us even when we hadn't seen each other for quite a while, always had a hug, would visit, oh and she had a look she'd give when upset with someone, but didn't see that side to often.  You did a great job raising her Iris, don't ever doubt that.  Her love for all of you, along with everyone she knew will always remain.  There is no doubt in my mind, she is whole, she is happy and she is at peace.  May your memories and love for her comfort you during this time and always.  Thoughts and prayers are with you.
