My deepest sympathy to all on the loss of precious Rhonda. It was my privilege to work with Rhonda for many years with Stonecroft Ministries. Rhonda was a willing worker, constant encourager, great friend to all, and if we were fortunate could even hear her sing once in awhile. Her smile could brighten up any room and feel so honoured to have called her friend. May God grant you His amazing peace at this time..

Mrs. McRorie will always be a huge part of my life and a great memory - my elementary school music teacher - helped me write out sheet music after school hours and enrolled me into a junior composers competition. I thought about her often and was very shocked to hear the news, she will forever be in my thoughts and memories. - Posted by: Erik (Student) on: Nov 26, 2016

I was privileged to get to know Rhonda through my involvement in the production of Better Tomorrows: I still have Rhonda's cassette! I remember her amazing smile, so full of kindness, her love of music, which she shared with all, her love of Jesus, which she also shared generously, and her warm, open home, where we had at least a couple of meetings. It was a great shock to learn all at once about both her illness and death, and I am so sorry that Rhonda had to go through this. My sincere condolences, Daniel and Chelsea, on your great loss. Eternally thankful for the promise of heaven, where you will see her again. - Posted by: Debra Esau Maione (Friend) on: Nov 22, 2016

Thank you Lord for giving us Rhonda for 62 years. You have called her home to be safe in the arms of Jesus. She did fight the good fight, but her smile lingers on. She had such a beautiful smile, and always willing and eager to help. We will miss you Rhonda, and I can't wait to meet you again in heaven. God called you home now, even though we didn't want to let you go. No more pain or sorrow. Clarence is in the care home waiting to go home too. He will be joining you whenever God calls him home. Daniel, and Chelsea, if you ever need a helping hand, or a visit, please call me. I'd be more than willing to be there for you. All our love and prayers for you to continue on life's journey. - Posted by: K. Vera and Clarence Wiebe (Friends) on: Nov 19, 2016
