For those of us who live far away, is there a way for us to “attend” the service via this website as we mourn also?To contribute to the Trust Fund is there a bank we can take a donation too for Matthew’s education? I would like to contribute.
Lean on the Lord. Love each other and hold on to those very dear memories that you have. What a gift she was to all.

Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel.
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.”

Hi Ray David, Matthew, extended family, and friends,
I was so sorry to hear this news, still was hoping and praying for a miracle of restoration and healing. Now I’m praying for all of us who loved her, whether personally, through her Crossroads Show or 100 Huntley Street. Praying especially hard for Ray David, Matthew, and the extended family. We “knew her” but never met her, but for Ray David and Matthew, she was wife and mother, she was family to her extended family. Praying for comfort, for the peace that surpasses all our understanding, and for strength in the days ahead…
Dear Ray David –
My heartfelt sympathy.. there are no words to express such a great loss however I do know God is faithful and true to us and He strengthens and comforts us. Thinking of you and your little boy daily. My prayers are with you and the extended family.
Sincerely,
Melanie
Dear Ray David, Mathew & Immediate Famiily: May God be with you, in your time of sorrow. There are no woeds that can express how you must feel. I watched 100 Huntley Street when Rhonda was on and she seemed to me to have such a deep love and compasion for our Lord and Savior. My prayers go out to you at this time
Dear Ray David, my heartfelt sympathy..I cried this morning when I read the sad news and then again when I watched 100 Huntley St..I loved Rhonda on Crossroads, I watched her all the time, and have followed you both over the years. I am very sad at her sudden passing, only God knows why. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your extended family at this sad time.
Sincerely, Margaret Watson

My prayers are with you during this time of mourning. I feel as if I know you and Rhonda..I watched you both on 100 Huntley Street. May you feel the peace Jesus promised us as christians in the coming days.
God bless you and Matthew.
Dear Ray David: Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. At this difficult time, I pray that God show Himself to you as your best friend and Father. You are His friend and son and He will lead you today and in the days, weeks, months & years to come. In all your pain, loss & hurt today, may you be comforted by Him as you reach out and comfort your son, Matthew. In the arms of Jesus on this side, may you feel his great LOVE as you have released to the arms of Jesus on the other side, your lovely wife & sister in the Lord, Rhonda. That is unconditional LOVE.
Dear Ray David and Matthew,
Rhonda was a special lady. I always felt I knew her like a sister.
May God uphold you both and also Rhonda’s Mom in His powerful hand. Our prayers are with you in these difficult days. May the Lord be praised.
Dear Ray David and Matthew,
My heart is broken and aches with you at this news. Rhonda lived her live with radiant love and devotion to her Saviour. As hard as it is to understand, she is in a better place with her FATHER. I will hold you in my prayers (along with many, many others) as you mourn her loss.
Trevor
My heart was saddened as I heard of Rhonda’s passing this morning on 100 Huntley. May you feel the loving arms of the Lord surround you at this difficult time. My prayers are with Ray David and Matthew as you walk through this valley.
Dear Ray David and Matthew,
I have considered the Huntley St family a part of my family and just as when any family member passes, I am so sad. I know that Rhonda is up in heaven and that she will see us all again one day.
God Bless you and your son.
Kathy Vaillancourt
Our hearts and our thoughts are with you Ray David and little Mathew. Rhonda has been a very special lady not only
in your lives but in countless others as well. A Very
Special Angel showing all of us True Purpose and Love in Life. God be with you during this trying time.
Wayne and Susan
My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this moment. A beautiful young girl promoted to the glorious wonders of heavens … Something I am still waiting for … I have been tremendously blessed by Rhonda’s service at 100 huntley street and still am ministered to by the Family at Crossroads.
To the family, she is just on the other side … waiting for all us…
A mixture of rejoicing and tears—-I can’t find the right words—–praying for you. Sue Smith
Dear Ray David, It has been so very long since we have seen each other. Today I heard the news about Rhonda. I am so sad for your stunning loss. Words seem so small. I just wanted you to know that in this moment my spirit is once again overwhelmed with the fragile, sacred, mystery of life. I am reminded of what Joy Grisham said to C.S. Lewis in the last days of her life as they talked together about the deep love they had together and her impending departure from this earth and the deep pain that C.S. Lewis was experiencing…….”the joy now is part of the pain later. That’s the deal”. You have loved deeply and from what I have read in the updates of your church site, you loved Rhonda well. That Sir, was the finest thing you gave to her; to escort her, with your massively broken heart to the threshold of heaven. May the angels of heaven now comfort you and your precious son and give you peace.
Deeply thinking of you, Deborah Klassen
Is hard to understand why, but faith is to just trust in God’s plan and ways that, are not ours.
Rhonda is been such a blessing to me. I loved watching her on 100 Huntley Street,and I was inspired by her words of faith, her tears, laughter and radiant love for God.
Rhonda’s life was so meaningful and a daily gift for many,especially her family. I rememberd how faithfully she waited for God’s appointment in meeting her husband,Ray and her joy in having little Mathew. I am blessed to have seen her and draw from the her well of faith. I pray God’s loving wings to cover her family until the day she’ll be met again. Ecaterina
I am very saddenned to learn of Rhonda’s passing. When I heard of her illness I was hoping and praying that she would make a full recovery. I have been watching 100 Huntley Street for many years, and all of the interviewers on the show feel like family to me in a way. To see one of them die so young is hard, and it does remind me and all of us of how short life is, and that tomorrow is never promised to be there for us, for sure. May God Bless and look after Rhonda’s husband and child. May all of Rhonda’s family be blessed with the knowledge that God always has his plans for our lives, even in trying circumstances like these.
I am finding it so hard to understand how such lose could happen. I heard about our beloved passiing of or so loved Rhonda. I watched her faithfully for many years on Huntley Street and her love and loyality made me so much stronger in my Faith. I am with awh with her and her amazing family life. I am so , so, sorry for your family and my prayers and love are with you. From Vancouver Island B.C she has touched us in our small community of Royston.
Prayers always Ray David and Matthew.
Our hearts are breaking for you at the loss of Rhonda.
May the love of God help to support you at this time.
Love Martin, Samantha and Thomas
I am truly in shock at the lost of Rhonda. I just heard the news on the program just the other day. I know we are here to serve him who sent us, to God be the glory, but even times like this, we search for the answer, why? I am a widow myself of over 2 years, my husband died at 56, I am only 56 now. I we had no children, but after over 25 yearsbeing together, you are left wondering. I won’t be able to go to the funeral, but my heartfelt prayers are with you Ray David and Matthew and all of Rhonda’s close friends and family and the Crossroads ministry families. May Jesus cover you his precious blood and to run the race for Jesus, till we all set together at His table with each other again. May God Bless You and Keep You. Yours in Christ, Melanie Ciarrocca
I pray that Rhonda’s family and loved ones’ grief move through them gently. A great loss to us, the friends and viewers of 100 Huntley Street but, a great gain to the Lord and the hereafter. I take comfort in knowing that there are ‘angels’ like Rhonda watching over us.
May the love of God, the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ and the light of the Holy Spirit be with you and Matthew always.
Rhonda was a special person. She will be greatly missed but Oh! how happy we are that she is now in the presence of her Lord and Savior.
Her healing is complete. She is perfect.
Our God leaves us here with a large void and He has gained a great lady.
We envy her.
He will come for us also one day and we will again be reunited for ever.
With much love in Christ
I have watched Rhonda on 100 Huntley Street for years, and although I didn’t know her personally this side of heaven, I felt a special connection with her. We were both pregnant at the same time, our kids born only days apart, so I always listened with interest when Rhonda would gush about little Matthew. Rhonda had such a genuine, compassionate quality about her, and her love for the Lord and her family was so evident and inspiring. When one member of the body of Christ hurts, so do all the others, and my heart aches with you in your loss. At the same time, I rejoice that Rhonda is safe and at peace in the arms of Jesus. From Calgary, AB, you and Matthew will be in my continual prayers. I can’t wait to meet your precious Rhonda on the other side…..
Love Lori Klaus
Dear Ray David Glenn,
RIP Rhonda! I would like to offer my condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. May the peace of the Lord be always with you. May the light of the holy spirit shine upon you, your son and your family and friends who are mourning the loss of your lovely wife. She is a person we will sadly miss. I hope during all this your family finds peace and happiness once again.
My deepest sympathies.
Dear Ray David,
I don’t know what to write as my English is not good.
I really love watching Rhonda hosting 100 Huntley St.
She touches my heart.
I would like to give you, Rhonda, Mathew and your family my favourite song, “An Unreserved Love”.

this time. Mere words could never express how we feel,
only know that we will continue to pray for God’s love and
grace towards you.

We were so shocked to hear of Rhonda’s passing. We heard of her upcoming surgery on the 100 Huntley street program and were wondering how she was progressing.
God be with you, Ray-David and Matthew. Our prayers are with you going forward.
Sincerely
Ed and Lyla-Jean
I am saddened at the loss of such a vibrant woman. Death always leaves me in a state of sadness and wonderment. Without our faith, it would be so tragic. Knowing we will reunite one day with our loved ones keeps us going. I pray for peace and comfort to all her loved ones. Rest in peace Rhonda.
I loved watching Rhonda on Crossroads. She was very wise and had such a great sense of humour and cute laugh.I amy sad because I feel I have lost a dear friend. She is now safe in the arms of Jesus.
Ray David and Matthew I am truly sorry for you loss and my prayers are with you at this time.
I have watched Rhonda many time on 100 Huntley Street and she is an amazing woman of God… May God give her Husband and family comfortand peace!!! God is in control
It is with joy that I send you a cheque to help with Matthew’s education. Rhonda ministered to me through her sincere testimony on 100 Huntley St. I loved her interviews and I want to do something for her family.
I have no words – only prayers. God be with you every moment of every day.
God’s rich mercy on those most affected by the loss of Rhonda, especially her beloved family and young son. The mystery that surrounds the circumstances of her death is too much to ponder, so we must put our trust in God, the author of life, the Alpha & the Omega. Feeling sad today over the loss, it is also a wake up call for me to love well today, as we are not promised tomorrow.
Blessings to all,
Michelle Jensen
God be with you,hearts are aching with you as you go through this very difficult time,may you see the face of Jesus and feel his pressence as he holds you in his loving arms. Peace be with you.
Please accept my condolences, Ray David and Matthew. I watched Rhonda on 100 Huntley Street and admired her. My prayers are with you.
Ray David,
May you and Micheal find comfortat this time. Rhonda is looking down and smiling even now. She is with her Heavenly Father and is at peace. My payers are with you. Be reminded that God is in control and is just a prayer away.
The Lord be with you, Ray David and Matthew at this time.Rhonda will be missed by many, it was during her time hosting 100 Huntley Street that I came to know the Lord….she was a fine example and loved the Lord with all her heart.
Dear David,
Rhonda was an inspiration and a true sister in Christ. I take comfort that she is with Our Precious Lord and Saviour; I once emailed Rhonda with a question on careers for myself; and was touched and heartened by her quick response. I know that her joy in the Lord and her willingness to share this with others has blessed many a heart. Thank you for your ministry. Thank you. May Jesus Hold you close in His Comfort. The Greatest Comforter of all. Peace and Love in Christ, thanks.
I was saddened to learn of Rhonda’s death on 100 Huntley Street this morning. May our Lord be a comfort to you and your family during this very difficult time. God Bless
Rhonda was much too young,lively/energetic/so intelligent from what I heard from her on TV. I wonder how long she’d had the tumor, before diagnosis. Had to’ve been a very aggressive one to take her so fast.
Can u tell me how old she was, please? I only know, she was young & had so much more to give/do, in/with her life, tho obviously, the Lord had other plans for her in Heaven, with Him. Now she’s reunited with family who went before her!
Andrea and I are praying for you Ray David and for your entire family. May God’s peace and comfort rule and reign over your lives.
I am so sad to learn that Rhonda is past away. May GOD peace that surpass all understanding be with you all. Specially to you Ray-David and Matthew . My sister and i have been praying for you here in Montreal. Jesus his the best conforter that you could ever find. With love i am sending my e-mail. On day we all understand why. The joy of the Lord be with you because He is your strengh.
I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Rhonda.
I fondly remember her as a co host on Huntley Street. And as I haven’t been a frequent viewer lately.
I was shocked and dismayed to hear the day before yesterday that she was very ill.
My heart goes out to her husband Ray David, and her son Matthew, and her family and friends.
May the Lord of Comfort and Love be with each of you and touch you as only how He can.
Dear family,
My heart is heavy for you today yet so aware that even though we grieve Rhonda is rejoicing with the Lord.I was privileged to be interviewed by Rhonda and even though I wanted my testimony to touch lives my life was touched and blessed by Rhonda’s humility and love for the Lord.Please be assured of our prayers for you as you walk through this valley of deep loss yet so certain that Rhonda is with the Lord.
In Christ,
Nell Maxwell
Dear Ray David (Glenn), Matthew and Family,
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. John 11:25
Love in Christ, Kathy Cardozo:)
Words fail at a time like this, but know of the prayers for you and the family as you grieve. May our Lord give you magnificent grace to walk through this valley. Rhonda’s life brought blessing to many, and we celebrate her life and mourn with you at such a great loss.
To My Crossroads Family in Christ:
This sad news has just hit me like a ton of bricks to my core. I am so very sorry to hear of Rhonda’s passing for her family and all of you, her many friends. I stand in prayer and grief with and for you all, and rejoice in Rhonda’s homecoming into eternity.
Rhonda’s intelligence, pure heart, utter sincerity and love for Jesus had me so drawn to her presence on air, and I particularly loved her infectious laughter. I would find myself often cracking up along with her. She was a very bright light and will be deeply and forever missed by all.
My heart aches for her husband, son and family and friends.
I was just enjoying listening to a Josh Groban CD yesterday and his version of “Starry Starry Night”, where he sings the line about Van Gough: “this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.” I think of Rhonda now in reference to this hearing the news of her passing. However, this world has been more beautiful because of someone like her.
Thank you for letting me know.
With love, sympathy and deepest respect for this wonderful woman of God,
Karen Riggs

I am so incredibly sorry for your deep loss.
May God grant you abounding grace and strength and dignity and wisdom raising your beautiful boy. May God guard and hold his tender heart and keep it tender in His hands.
Rest in His grace and mercy which is new every morning. Great is His faithfulness. You are never alone.
God bless.
I recently found out that Rhonda was ill..and now to find out that she has passed away made me weep for the family..to be taken so young but she loved her Jesus so much and went home to be with Him..My heartfelt sympathies go out to Ray David and Matthew and to all her family who grieve..The LORD bless you all..
I am shocked and saddened to learn of Rhonda’s passing. Her deep love for our Lord was always such a blessing to me on 100 Huntley Street.
May God bless you Ray David and Matthew in your deep, deep sorrow and lead you gently through this valley, with His constant love and presence.
God Bless the entire family.
My mother died less than two weeks ago and while it is still fresh our belief that she is with Jesus in the awesome glory of God has been a great comfort for us. She is healed!
God bless Ray David and Matthew. What a welcome awaited her in heaven! She will still be close to you.
So sorry and sad to hear about this (through friends at KPC). Our prayers are with you all and with Vivienne. May God’s people rally around you now and in the future.
I heard of Rhonda’s passing this morning on Huntley Street. When I saw her photo I said “Hey I know that face” and a beautiful one at that! I am so very sad but so over joyed at the same time. Rhonda is with Jesus! That is where we all look forward to being one day is with Jesus. To be able to look into those beautiful eyes, see His smile and to be embraced by Him. Glory be to Him. But in the here and now, we are still sad. And my prayer is for all the family and friends to be enveloped in God’s love and Jesus’ compassion. He can give you like no other. Much love to you.
Christina Betts
My shock and sadness on reading the email sent to me about Rhonda’s passing seems so overwhelming, especially because she was so young and the mother of a seven year old. May God comfort the family as only He could.
I only knew Rhonda by seeing her on the tv progrm 100 Huntley Street. Rhonda’s calm personality and love for God was always evident and encouaraged me to walk closer to Jesus.
Praying for Ray David & Matthew, family & friends, St. George’s Anglican Family & Crossroads communications family, that God will comfort your aching hearts and that His name will be honoured, exalted and magnified.
Love to all.
Marg Whittaker
We were so sad that we heard that Rhonda was in hospital , and now that she passed away so soon and so young. When Ray David became her fiance , it was so exciting ,they were so in love and so right for each other. Only the Lord could have brought them together . And then Matthew came along. How happy they were with their Gift from God. May God now be with Ray David and Mathew as they will miss Rhonda so very much. May you know there are many people holding you up in prayer, also for the whole extended family . We love you > God bless you and give you His peace. `
Dear everyone,
I thank God for this wake up call, mentioned by a previous post. Rhonda is exactly my age and it is very motivating to me knowing that in reality, that we can go at anytime. We hear this, but I hadn’t previously, experienced it happening to someone as similar to my self.
Queensway Cathedral, at 1 p.m. Sat., 2010
I am so appreciative of the opportunity to demonstrate my love of Rhonda and for being blessed with the opportunity of sharing the company of others who loved Rhonda, for her dear sweet way. Let us all put away any reservations we may have and try to be there. “It is good to meditate upon our death”
“All Things work together, for those who love God”
God’s continuing mercy on everyone.
“We will all see Jesus one day”
Let us all work to express Christian love to as many as we can in our, relatively, short lifetime, as Rhonda strove to do, evident by all the respondents here.
Rhonda, “Well done faithful Christian”
Thank you God for allowing Rhonda’s joyful, innocent, loving spirit live on in Mathew. For us to enjoy in the future. We all feel most for this sweet child. Let’s be there, just for him, on Saturday, so that it can have an impression in his tender 6-7 year old soul that his mother was well loved.
Queensway Cathedral is 4 blocks East of Sherway Gardens, on the street running along the North side of the mall.
1 p.m., Saturday, May 29, TODAY.
Dear Rhonda,
We will all miss you, yet know that you are in heaven watching us.
I burst our crying, out loud, deeply, and for some time, after reading the third word in the title of Wednesday’s post,…”Rhonda has passed…”. I am still shaken and will continue to remember you and mourn, for our loss.
Queensway Cathedral, is across from the Ikea, you can see off of the Queen Elizabeth Highway, when travelling to Toronto. For those who were not sure.
Ray David, Matthew and Family: I pray that you would experience our Triune God’s comfort,presence and His strength in a very special way, not only today, but in the days, weeks, months and years to come. I sure would like to be able to get a copy of the funeral service bulletin. Carol
An inspiring lady who will be missed.I’ve watched her on Huntly Street many times.may God comfort her family.
may god bless and watch over the glenn family always.
I was deeply shocked and saddened to hear about the lost of Rhonda; she was so young. I enjoyed her co-hosting and many interviews on 100 Huntley St over the years. She seemed so joyful in the Lord and eloquent in her conversations. You can tell she really knew the Lord and loved him.
To hear that she succumbed to brain tumor is all the more a shock as my sister is currently fighting the same condition. My prayers go out to her husband and young son. May God’s peace and comfort be with the family during this time of loss.
Please know that as a regular 100 Huntley Street viewer, I am grieving with you all. I am close to Rhonda’s age and her life…and death…have been an inspiration to me. As I write this I know you are all gathered for Rhonda’s homegoing service and I am praying especially that Ray David & Matthew will be experiencing the peace that passes all understanding and that the God of all comfort will be closer than ever.
Life is hard, but God is good.
I was very much touched with sadness upon reading of Rhonda’s passing. How wonderful to know that she is with her precious Lord, and out of pain. We continue to pray for Ray David and Matthew and all Rhonda’s family.
With love, Norm and Judy McKenna, Guelph, Ont.
How wonderful to know that our anchor is in our relationship with God. May God strenthen you all.
I feel great sadness. Some things are so hard to understand. I still remember Rhonda’s sweet laugh on 100-Huntley. It seemed to brighten my day. I have followed her life since she left to continue her studies. What a beautiful woman of God, what a lovely family.
Rhonda is now with Jesus, but Ray David and Matthew are in our prayers. May God surround them with His presence and give them His peace.
I am deeply saddned to hear about Rhonda’s passing. My thoughts & prayers go out to the Glenn’s immediate family and for the extended family. I am a regular listener to 100 Huntley and will miss her greatly.
Dear David; We were deeply shocked to hear of Rhonda’s
passing to be with the Lord she loved and served.
We watch Huntley St. on a regular basis and enjoyed the time Rhonda was interviewing someone. May the God of all comfort be with you and Mathew in the days, weeks and months ahead.

Just returned from the funeral.
Seeing Mathew standing beside his father, during his sermon, was the best.
Everything is going to be alright. God is in control.
Beautiful service.
The funeral today was both saddening and uplifting at the same time. Love and respect was visible throughout the sermon, speeches, and on the faces of all who attended.My heart goes out to the families. The greatest courage was shown by all involved, as it is not easy to understand how this could happen many years too soon. I assume the courage comes from with the understanding that Rhonda is now in a wonderful place she dreamed of. Today marked a celebration of a journey that took far fewer steps than originally intended. I have no doubt that this is the way Rhonda would have wanted things to be.
Ray David and Matthew you made her proud today.
God bless and much love
Yes, I too hope there is a way for us to get a memorial bulletin, or if the service was taped. ( I do know some are). Thought of you all today, especially Ray David and Matthew (his tender little heart). It was 11 am Alberta time and I thought of you all at the church.
May the God of all comfort be very near to you, strengthen and uplift you. Know you are in our prayers as you turn your eyes upon Jesus. God’s wonderful blessings to you.
I was very moved and touched at the Funderal today for Rhonda. Seeing you Ray David and Matthew standing there just before it started moved me to tears. Also Ray David I am so touched by your Faith to God and leaning on him through this difficult time. All the blogs you wrote on here showed your trust in God and he is very proud of you. Also for speaking up front today must have been very difficult. Rhonda would have been very proud. To me I feel my faith has grown stronger throuhg all of this. You both have shown great strength and trust in the Lord. Keeping your eyes on him at all times. May God continue to bless you, strengthen you through the days ahead.
Dear Ray and Matthew,
To-day is and will be one of the hardest things you and others will ever face. However at a time like this when so many,”why?” will run through your mind. I pray that you will be able to say, Lord show your glory in this as Y is a letter that never will be cpmpletely answered this side of heaven.
Our prayers are with you
I like many others am still shocked & deeply saddened to hear of Rhonda’s passing. I know she is happy with the Lord which of course is wonderful, but yet I do find it hard to let her go. Although I didn’t know her personally, I was still inspired by her character and all she stood for, as well as her great love for God & her family. I was honored to have had the opportunity to pray with the ‘Full Circle’ gals specifically for Rhonda on their visit to NS, but of course I fully expected her to recover. Now I will pray for comfort & strength from the Lord for her family as they go on living with their happy memories of a true sparkle in God’s eyes. To God be the glory. Rest in peace Rhonda dear.
I had prayed that God hand would have healed, Rhonda, i was very impressed with her lovely voice and that little squint she does as a little child, I share your pain even though I only knew her from watching her on TV. I will continue to pray for you mr Ray David and Matthew. God peace be with at this time. if there is a program of the funeral I would love to get a copy via e-mail if that is possible thank you

Beloved in Christ Jesus Our Lord & Saviour,
Ray-David, Matthew & extended family!
What do we do when we face challenges that make us wonder
what’s ahead? the answers are noot always easy, and the
direction is not always clear. In these circumstances,
our HOPE is in God alone. Our lives and our times are in
His hands, and He assures us that His the rock we can
stand upon through the storm.
Psalm 61: 2, KJV
“From the end of the earth will I cry unto Thee,
when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock
that is higher than I.”
Believing with you…in the wisdom of His ways,
in the goodess of His love, and in the assurance
of His presence as He keeps you every step of the way.
If possible, please send a memorial bulletin from the
Celebration of Rhonda’s Life, look at our Saviour, the
Lord Jesus Christ and His short earthly time here, so
wise, as God has prepared Rhonda for a higher calling!
I know the agonizing loss of your beloved mate is greater
than Words…hugs, and know others are grieving with you
at this sad time for us who remain.
Love in Christ,
Jo Naylor
My prayers are with you, matthew and the entire 100 huntley street family.we bless the lord because it has pleased Him to take her home.Not because He could not heal her,but that’s His will.Oh Lord please encourage our hearts even when things don’t make alot of sense to us.I ask this in Jesus name.amen
As I was watching full circle on Friday I felt the grief of all those who had been Rhonda’s colleagues. One of the girls, however, put it all into perspective for me. She said, “We are all dying, we just don’t know when.”
Rhonda’s passing has made me think a lot about my own life. I have read numerous tributes to Rhonda over these last few days. She left behind a legacy of love. She will be missed, and all who knew her will never forget her. She exemplified love for her Saviour. He was her hope and it was obvious she was eager to share that hope with everyone. I want to have such treasure to lay at Jesus feet when I meet him.
Thanks Rhonda for your life and example.
We just got back home from attending auction sales(in Sask) of two deceased loved ones. Then we come home to the shocking news that yet another loved person has passed away…one whom we really loved and appreciated for her love for Jesus AND excellent interviews. We pray for you all; especially the husband and dear, young son! 100 Huntely Street folk know we pray for you too. God bless you and meet all of your needs.
Love & Prayers
Tina & Henry J Friesen, Calgary, AB
I mourn with you not without hope but as a human being touched by this loss. Would it be possible to post audio or visual links to the funeral service? It was impossible for me to be there and it would be so appreciated if I could listen to some of it. Thank you.
Ray David, you sir, are a “mighty man of valour” and you are raising your son to be one as well. Keep going – the nation is praying for you. Remember these words: “His love has no limit; His grace has no measure; His power has no boundary known unto man; For out of His infinite riches in Jesus, He giveth and giveth and giveth again.” We serve an awesome God and Rhonda knew that and knows it all the more now.
I am so sadden by the loss of Rhonda. My dearest friend just went through the same thing this past Christmas 2009. Through God’s grace she’s made it. My deepest sympathy to her family.
I am so saddened by the loss of Rhonda. I watched her a lot in 100 Huntley Street and all those times that I tuned in I was so blessed with her message and encouragement. Her smile and her love for God was very obvious and contagious. My deepest sympathy to the family.
