  • My Aunt Rhonda gave me so many fun memories, she was so down to earth and easy to talk to. Months would go by and yet I always felt like we were close. I think that many would agree with me when I say she had the best laugh!

  • I was shocked to learn of Rhonda’s passing at such a young age. Of course you know that my family went through the same heart wrenching experience and know it’s not an easy thing to overcome. But life must go on as I’m sure Rhonda would want us all to follow her example of celebrating the value of our relations with those we hold most dear.

  • I am so sorry that Rhonda is no longer here to share her great smile with her friends and family. I was a friend of hers during highschool. I spent time with her cruising in her huge classic car with the fins that she loved. It was so funny to see someone so tiny driving such a big car. I remember Rhonda’s joy, her kindness, her energy. I send my condolences to her family and close friends.

  • I have many unforgetable memories of my Aunt Rhonda. We didn’t get to see each other often enough but we talked on the phone quite a bit. She had a way with telling a story like no other. She would have me laughing the whole time on the phone. Her and I could have a party all by ourselves on the phone for hours. I love you Aunty Rhonda and will miss you soooooo much! Love to you Rod, and the boys.

  • To Rhonda’s family–I am deeply saddened to hear of Rhonda’s passing. Our family lived across the street from the Haugen family on McClellan Street back when we were little kids. Rhonda was always so sweet and adorable. I was a few years older than Rhonda and in the summer I would gather the littler kids in the neighborhood and teach them to read. Rhonda was my most faithful “Summer School” attendee even though I’m sure she didn’t want to be there anymore than any of the others who didn’t show upsmile. Afterwards, we would put on the music and dance–Rhonda could do The Twist second to none. I always hoped to see Rhonda again someday and thought of her often. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

  • Dear Rod and family,

    I’m sorry to be so late with my condolences but I just heard of Rhonda’s passing yesterday. I know we’ve all lost touch through the years, but have thought of you and Rhonda often and all the fun times, and there were many. She was so much fun. I hope that your hearts have healed some in the last two years but I know the ache never goes away.

    Sincerely,
