Dear Carol Lee and Family,
I was so sorry to read about your daughter's passing. I know nothing I can say will help, but I wanted to let you know that you, Cutty, your mom and dad (and monkey) always meant so much to me. You never forgot me and I miss that so much about L'Anse. Auntie Sis would say you now have an angel in heaven to watch over you. You are in my prayers and thoughts. Love to you all and God Bless, Mary Lou
To Ronda's Family. Im so sorry for your loss. Ronda was always a ray of sunshine. My deepest condolences, Kelley Chaudier (Seavoy)
It was a great pleasure to take care of Rhonda. I learned so much from her and I know she is no longer suffering but that doesn't make this place any less lonsome without her. She was sweet and funny despite all that she was going through. TO her family and friends I am so very sorry for your loss. She will make a beautiful Angel and I will never forget her.
I met Ronda at "Peggy Sue's", in Ishpeming. I felt so bad when Ronda told me about her illness. I called her to see how she was doing, because she was always in my thoughts & prayers. I'm glad that we had a chance to talk, before her passing. I treasure the memories of knowing her. Ronda touched many lives. Rest in Peace, my friend.
My sincere sympathy goes out to all of Ronda's family members, but especially for Ron (Alice)Jestila, good friends from VFW Post 6507.
Sincere sympathy,

If was a pleasure to know and serve Ronda during her final illness. She was person of deep faith and I know her positive attitude will help support those who remain. I wish I could celebrate her life with you but unfortunately I have another commitment. May God's peace and love surround you during the difficult days ahead. Life will not be the same without Ronda. Peace and Love to all.
I am Jessica Doney's grandmother. I have been with Kaylie when my son Keith and his family have had her with them. I want to tell her and her family how sorry I am. May God be very close to all of you. Love, Mary Doney
LeRita, Penny and family, we are sorry to hear of your sisters passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
Carol Lee, LeRita, Penney and the rest of the family--I was shocked when LeRita informed me last week of Ronda's illness. I had only met her a couple of times and talked with her several other times on the telephone.
I had talked with Ronda last fall, before she became really ill. Despite all the hardships she has dealt with over the years, her outlook on life remained so vibrant. I could see the same "bubbliness" of her sisters LeRita and Penney in her.
Carol Lee, I know this probably has been harder on you than the rest of the family. I hope knowing that all the hard times she had endured over the years has come to an end is somehow comforting.
Even though I didn't get to know her well, I feel just knowing her at all made me a more well-rounded person and more grateful for the hand that God has dealt me so far in my life.
I wish the entire family peace at this difficult time for all of you. Ronda's untimely passing happened for a reason. I hope it becomes clear as time begins to heal the wounds of her loss.
