Help Rhonda Bailey's Family in Their Time of Need

I'm deeply saddened to share the news that our dear friend Rhonda Bailey passed away. She was a close friend, neighbor, as well as Club Secretary for the Armenian Gampr Club of America.

Rhonda battled up and down illness over the last several months. Most recently, she was rushed to emergency services in March 2024 and afterward admitted to a rehab facility for round the clock care and physical therapy so that she could get stronger and go home.

Although she'd made improvements and doing much better, last week, Rhonda had to be suddenly life-flighted to Vanderbilt Hospital for ICU care. Despite all lifesaving effiorts, she unexpectedly passed away on Friday, May 17th.

Rhonda leaves behind her husband Erik, daughter Ashley, and son Max. She also left behind two beautiful Arnenian Gamprs, Talin and Vedi, as well as their good boy Camo, and two cats, Jeanne Gray and Moustachio.

Rhonda was sassy, strong, stood up for injustice, and always first to offer help to others without any regard of her personal problems. She pursued her goals with tenacity and drive, and loved her family more than anything. Her laugh was impossibly contagious. I chose this particular photo because while it isn't new, it was her favorite.

In honor of Rhonda's memory and to support her grieving family during their most difficult time, we are asking friends, loved ones, and those in our Gampr community to rally together to provide financial assistance to alleviate some of the hardship they're faced with.

Every penny donated will go directly to Erik Bailey for medical and memorial expenses, and securing their family for this immediate period after losing a wife and mother.

Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference during this difficult time. AGCA will make the first donation of $3000. Please join us in helping.

Thank you,

HS Riley
