Rhonda came into my life at one of my turning points and played a large role in the person I became. To this day my women lovers must live up to Rhonda...and really none of them have. She was a woman of many talents. Her fine mind, her artistic side, her ability to see good in anyone, her love for a good baseball game, her love of nature, her sultry voice, all these and more made her important to me for Years after our "relationship" ended. I miss her phone calls at odd hours of the day or night. I miss her advice. I miss her mouth. She is multidimensional now and can visit ALL her friends anytime. WOW! What a great angel we all have. hmmmmmm...

Reflections of Self We Are All Mirrors for Each Other When we look at other people, we see many of their qualities in innumerable and seemingly random combinations. However, the qualities that we see in the people around us are directly related to the traits that exist in us. "Like attracts like" is one of the spiritual laws of the universe. We attract individuals into our lives that mirror who we are. Those you feel drawn to reflect your inner self back at you, and you act as a mirror for them. Simply put, when you look at others, you will likely see what exists in you. When you see beauty, divinity, sweetness, or light in the soul of another, you are seeing the goodness that resides in your soul. When you see traits in others that evoke feelings of anger, annoyance, or hatred, you may be seeing reflected back at you those parts of yourself that you have disowned or do not like. Because we are all mirrors for each other, looking at the people in your life can tell you a lot about yourself. Who you are can be laid bare to you through what you see in others. It is easy to see the traits you do not like in others. It is much more difficult to realize that you possess those same traits. Often, the habits, attitudes, and behaviors of others are closely linked to our unconscious and unresolved issues. When you come into contact with someone you admire, search your soul for similarly admirable traits. Likewise, when you meet someone exhibiting traits that you dislike, accept that you are looking at your reflection. Looking at yourself through your perception of others can be a humbling and eye-opening experience. You can also cultivate in you the traits and behaviors that you do like. Be loving and respectful to all people, and you will attract individuals that will love and respect you back. Nurture compassion and empathy and let the goodness you see in others be your mirror.

One thing you can say about Rhonda...once you met her it wasn't likely you would forget her. I remember her painting and creating pieces of art. She liked to keep things about her a bit of a mystery.Her mother, Lori was always a big part of her life, and I remember her kindness and love for her Granny outside of Knoxville, Tennessee. How she loved the land and the southern way of life. It was easier to see it through her eyes. Blessings on your current journey, Rhonda. Ginny

Where do you start when trying to describe one's life? Its like a mix of the good the bad and the ugly for all of us, how would you like someone to describe your life after you're gone? I loved Rhonda because I felt my mothers love for her, I realize just how valuable and unique a life friend is...how much impact they have on your thoughts of your own life, how life experience with that friend will stay with you through your own life and those very same experiences will be a comfort to you when you cant be together. Rhonda will have been a friend a daughter and lover to others in this great big world but to me she will always be a musician. She had a definite purpose to spread her message through her music to all those with open ears and open hearts to hear the native way to get "in touch" and I feel like she fulfilled her duty on this planet...we come here through our mothers bodies in a song, we hear the music of moans and groans in labor, we feel the water rush around us as we journey closer, we listen as it comforts us and reassures us of things to come.....some of us never lose the rhythm. Rhonda NEVER lost the rhythm. I love her because she loved my mom. You will be missed. Thank you for giving us a part of you to hold on to before you were to go on. I hope your next journey in life is a fun one too!! Love you, Iasha

I first met Rhonda back in 1977, we met at Positively Front St.Pub, we were shooting pool, our eyes met,and we instantly became friends, and have remained so til her passing. She was like a sister to me, a woman that i respected and loved unconditionally. WE shared the same vision. One mind, one spirit. She was a woman of many strengths, an honorable woman, a woman full of spirit, and had a visual for the arts,always producing some art project. She opened her heart and home to many people, it didn't matter what walks of life that they came from. She was a generous woman , though money was limited,she always struggled to make life work , but whatever she had, she shared. she shared her wisdom, her talent, her vision for the world. My friend, Rhonda , a beautiful soul, only wanted the best for others. She was there for me through my trials and tribulations, and helped me to understand myself better, she loved my children dearly... I thought that as we grew older ,that we would have a life time of sharing, many more stories to share with each other, more songs to write.. I give thanks for her spirit that touched my life so deeply! Please if you have any more pics or stories you'd like to share please see this as an opportunity to do so, thankyou

Thank you for setting up this memorial to RAW. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
