A wise woman once said, “Tis an empty shell you see lying here. If you wish to speak to me, look up, for I will be listening” I will always be speaking to our beautiful Rhea!
I would just like to acknowledge Rhea’s life and her passing onto a most peaceful and joyous place. A high school friend.
My sympathies and condolences go out to the family of my former high school classmate.
I had the pleasure of taking care of Rhea for almost 4 years until the night before she passed away. Rhea was an inspiration to me and we will all miss her. I know she believed in God and that God is taking good care of her now. I will never forget Rhea, her wisdom and the special blessing she was to us all. May God bless you ,give you peace and love knowing that Rhea is smiling with all the angels in Heaven, watching over all those who loved her. My prayers are with you and your family.
