I can't believe this... Rhonda and I shared so many wonderful memories as kids. I can't begin to count the amount of pick-up football games we played with the Murga's, or whoever was around and willing! From age 10 to 20, many, many memories have Rhonda right smack in the middle of them. I certainly know that powder puff football wouldn't have been the same without her! :0 For her family...I am SO sorry for your loss! This will be a tough one for you all. I will be praying for you. Though we'd gone our separate ways in adulthood, I still thought of her often, and I loved her very much.

Words can not express how sorry I am that this has happened, nor can I imagine the depth of your sorrow now, and for the days to come.

I am truly sorry for your loss and will keep all of you in my prayers.
