Sincere condolences on the loss of your beloved Rhonda. I recall many fun gatherings at the home in Baird St when we were part of the Invercargill Plunket Mothers Group over 40 years ago.

Family circumstances have prevented me from attending Rhonda´s funeral. Please accept my sincere condolences and apology. Rhonda was always an inspiration and wonderful support of the Winter Camp, even after John´s passing. May she be at peace. We wrap our love around her family as they move forward. Blessings to you all.
