I only know a few people who can comfortably have those difficult, but necessary, conversations about end of Life details, such as burial wishes. Ronda and I both favor the greener methods where a body is wrapped in fabric, vaults and caskets are skipped and bodies returned to the earth in natural sites like those offered at Bluestem Cemetery in Cedar Grove, NC. We have been close Friends for more than forty years. She has inspired so many by the way she has faced her stage IV cancer these last twelve years as well as more recent personal challenges. Burials can be a financial strain and Ronda's wish is that neither her Son or Sisters, would be burdened with hers. That is why I am creating this Go Fund Me effort. Her treatment options have been exhausted and though she is still in the ring, she recognizes the harsh reality before her. As a token of our Love for her, let's take this one weight from her shoulders. If you'd like to stay updated on her recent health news, feel free to visit her Caring Bridge site.
