I am so sorry for your loss. There are only a few I connected with in high school and Rhonda was one. Prayers for the family.
So sorry to read this news. Rhonda lived across the street from me and my family on Woest Boul in E St Louis in the 60’s. We were the same age and always played together as kids. Her mom, Sue, was my mom (Fern (Ken) Littlefield) hairdresser back in the day along with Sue’s partner in crime Sharon Bell. Rhonda was always a beautiful child. We stayed friends when she moved down near her grandmother off Caseyville Avenue, but once her family moved to FVH, we lost touch.
God Bless her soul and the Whetstone family and her children and grandchildren she leaves behind. May she rest in peace. 💫🙏
So sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for the family prayers for all!
