Rhonda aka Ms. Rhonda will truly be missed. We worked in the same classroom and the students loved her. She always had a positive spirit. Work will not be the same..
Miss Sharonda lovingly taught and nurtured two of my children at First Baptist and Epiphany. She was always full of love and offered the best smiles. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I will be thinking of the Oates family and all of Sharonda's friends during this sad time.
To my family and to Sharonda's close and dear friends, I send my love and prayers. Although we were cousin and Sharonda and my son went to school together, she was a woman of inspiration and genuine love for others. She would always speak positivity over my kids, her cousins. She will forever be missed and always in our hearts. To her father and brother we love you and send you many thoughts as you are truly in our prayers 🙏🏽❤️
