The last week I spent in Lansing for school (It was Hard.. I feel dumb) and met some very funny and nice people there. shout out to Kathrine, Tracy, Paula and Amy, I know you passed. Hope that your life and shopping is getting back on track. I have to go to a tea party today. My family is funny. Love to all...

I had a friend die last month and could not bring myself to write anything. She was so full of life it is hard to let her go. Her name was Rhonda Schlund. In my minds eye I picture her running around 100 miles an hour,juggling 10 jobs at once, that was her. She lived big. She died big too, Rhonda had a brain aneurism while on a caribbean cruise. I guess that should be the way she would go, and not sitting at home. Someone at the funeral said that " it takes alot of us to live our lives much longer than it did Rhonda. She just always took up her job and got it done." I guess that was a true statement. She has has in death continued to give to her fellow man by donating her useable organs. to date there have been 4 successful transplants. She was a great girl.
I feel so bad for her kids, they gave her such joy. The last time I saw her she came to stand with our family at the football homecoming game and take pictures for us when we walked Paul out on the Field for being Homecoming Rep for the Junior Class. When we came back up to the stands Paul took his corsage off and gave it to Rhonda. She looked at me and said you should give this to your mom, for your scrap book. I said " Rhonda, he gave it to you. you've been special to him and just let him show that. " She kept the flower. That was the last flower we will give her. Our time and money for her will now go to her memorial scholarship fund. She worked so hard for the athletic boosters, long after her son was out of school. she did it for the kids. We were new friends to Rhonda and mourn for the time we will not get with her. And feel such sorrow for her sons. She was a fun friend and Mom. Thank you, Good bye my friend.
