I found this obituary after reading the graphic novel "Dancing at the Pity Party" by Rhonda´s daughter, Tyler Feder. I obviously never knew her personally but Rhonda, you seemed like wonderful woman. Your daughter loves you and beautifully immortalized you with her book. I never met you Rhonda but I will think about you and your daughters for the rest of my life!!!
