Rhonda Faith TIllett was born on June 27, 1957. 

She died on December 13, 2016.  She was 59 years young.  Rhonda is fondly remembered, not only by family and close friends, but by cherished high school friends and co-workers.

Rhonda was a beautiful person, inside and out.  She had a beautiful voice and won awards and hearts with her various theatricial and personal performances. 

Rhonda was ill for a very long time but made the best of a bad situation for as long as she could.  She was genetically predisposed for heart problems and cancer and yet neither of these is actually what she finally succumbed to.

She learned to live with her various disabilities and still have an active social and professional life until it became apparent that the illnesses were winning.  They finally deprived her of the one thing that made her happy ... being able to be with her friends and family.

Rhonda was everything to me ... I loved her, cared for her and took care of her ... right up to the end.  Monday, December 19, 2016 would have been our 35th anniversary.

Rhonda was never one to shirk responsibilities, whether promises made to friends and family or financial responsibilities.  It is for this reason that the funds requested may seem large to some.  In addition, she leaves behind a veritable mountain of medical bills, tax repayments, credit card debt and, of course, final and funeral expenses.

I took care of Rhonda because I loved her ... even to the point of losing my job in order to take care of her.  I ask for your support now to help me honor and remember her ... by helping us financially so that debts can be paid, and she is honored and memorialized appropriately at her funeral.

To her friends and family:  Do it for Rhonda.  To my friends and family:  Do it for me.  Just do it.
