Rhonda Kay Gilbert

I still remember the very day Rhonda became my best friend And I thank God every day that I at least got the chance to have a friend like her in my life time. She gave me enough memories for a whole life time. She was a very specail person in everyones life. I love you Rhonda with all my butt cuz its bigger then my heart

One of a "million" favorite memroies was when we all went to the haunted woods, well those that know US were ALL a bunch of chickens so we went in groups well it was me, Rhonda, Genea I was in the middle, the very first trailor Rhonda peed her pants and I think I did too! LOL we was laughing so hard, when someone came out with a chain saw or ax I cant even remember now Rhonda started running still holding onto my arm ran into one of the trailors we were screamin laughin the whole time, she tripped me we all fell to the ground he ontop of me still having a tight squeeze on my hand it was folded all up, I was crying, laughing and the stupid guy was still trying to chase us while we were laying on the ground when Rhonda started fussing at him.....What a FUN, MEMORABLE night!!!

The picture I posted showes how she LOVED to play and laugh!!! she was trying to take of my shirt so someone could get a picture of my chest!! LOL Ohh how I love and miss her!!

Not a day goes by that I dont think of some memorie I have of Rhonda. Just driving down the road I see a place she and I have been before. I listen to music and something always comes on that send me a memorie of two. The clothes I wear even the things I say sometimes reminds me of her. I feel amazing knowing that I got to know someone that impacted my life so dang much. Rhonda made everything fun..from waking up in the morning to shopping at Wal Mart. There was never a dull moment. I sure do feel lost without my best friend.

dearest rhonda i wrote this for you and i do go and see you as much as possible!! i love you so much rhonda kay....love ur naif

saying goodbye

the question was

what would i ever do?

if i ever lost you

and now its time to find out

but i know deep in my heart

this is what life is about

i will truly miss you

as im sure everyone will

and i know its been really hard for me

to see you lie so still.

not hearing your voice anymore

or you singing willie nelson songs by the door.

but i will allways have those memories

and ill make sure i tell those stories.

you were there throughout my life

you have given me alot in life.

and the best thing i will tell you now,

is to have a heart that cares and respects,

and for this you have shown me how.

in some ways you may be gone,

but ill think of you as being here,

still continuing to love us

as you've done with so much care,

i could not have asked for anything more.

you were a friend who allways adored.

i wasnt able to say goodbye the way i wanted

but at least i got to see your smile,

and that made the last day we spent together

 all more worthwhile.

so if im standing before you,

and my eyes become teared,

understand that it is my thoughts of you,

and the time and love we shared.

i remember everytime on the phone together

you ended with see you later naif,

i love your stinkin' guts

this is why we never complained or fussed!

id like to come visit you the same,

and be there as much as possible,

and sit before your name.

i cant express how much i love you,

but i think you allready know,

because it always showed

from with in your face

i remember it as clear as day.

so thank you for being an incredible friend

to me & the rest,

and let it be known to all out there

that you were the very best.

 

MY RHONDA,

STORIES,LOVES, LAUGHS, CRYING,& MEMORIES,

SIS YOU HAVE LEFT US SO MANY OF THEM. I CHERISH EVERY MOMENT OF EVERYDAY WHAT YOU HAVE LEFT US. I CRY I LAUGH I SING & I THINK ABOUT YOU IN EVERYTHING I DO. I REALLY MISS THOSE PHONE CALLS OF YOU TELLING ME "I LOVE YOU MOM" BUT I KNOW YOU STILL TELL ME YOU LOVE ME ALL THE TIME. & THAT IS WHAT KEEPS ME GOING. I WATCHED A VIDEO OF YOU DOING YOUR COUNTRY HOE DOWN IN THE 4TH GRADE! I CRYED & THEN I LAUGHED. YOU WERE SO DARN CUTE  THE TIME WE HAD AT CHEYENNE FRONTIER DAYS. I HAD A BLAST. PAPA RICK WILL NEVER FORGET YOU YOU FARTED AND WE LOCKED THE WINDOW & HE COULD'NT OPEN THEM AND YES SHE STUNK REALLY BAD. ALSO WHEN YOU SHOT THE DEAD PORCIPINE THAT HAD BEEN DEAD FOR OVER A YEAR. I LAUGHED SO HAD I ALMOST PEED MY PANTS, I WILL CHERISH EVERY LOVE & LAUGHS YOU GAVE TO US.  I LOVE YOU & MISS YOU SO MUCH. MOM

If tears could build a stairway and

memories were a lane,

We would walk all the way to Heaven,

to bring you home again

No farewell words were spoken, no

time to say good-bye

You were gone before we knew it,

and only God knows why

Our hearts ache in sadness, and

secret tears will flow

What is meant to lose you, no one

will ever know.

We share a lot of story's,

to alot we have told,

As we said before:

WE'LL MEET YOU ON THE

STREETS OF GOLD

We love and mis you sis!

Your family

A Letter From Heaven

Poem by Kelly Beswick

To my dearest family some things I’d like to say,

But first of all to let you know I arrived here okay.

I’m writing to you from heaven where I dwell with god above,

Where there are no more tears or sadness, there is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I’m out of sight,

Remember that I’m with you every morning, noon, and night.

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me and he said, I welcome you.

It’s good to have you back again you were missed while you were gone,

And as for your dearest family they’ll be here later on.

I need you here so badly, as part of my big plan,

There is so much we have to do to help our mortal man.

Then god gave me a list of things he wished me to do,

And foremost on that list of mine, is to watch and care for you.

And I will be beside you every day, and week, and year

And when you’re sad I’m standing there to wipe away that tear

And when you lay in bed at night, the days chores put to flight,

God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth and all those loving years,

Because you are only human there bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain,

Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you of all that god has planned,

But if I were to tell you, you wouldn’t understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over

I am closer to you now than I ever was before.

And to my dearest friend’s, trust god for he knows best,

I’m still not far away from you, I’m just beyond the crest.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you, and many hills to climb,

But together we can do it taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy and I’d like it for you too

That as you give unto the world so the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who’s in sorrow or in pain,

Then you can say to god at night my day was not in vain.

And now I am contented that my life it was worthwhile,

Knowing that as I passed along the way that I made someone smile.

So if you meet somebody that is down and feeling low,

Just lend a hand to pick them up as on your way you go.

When you are walking down the street and you’ve got me on your mind,

I'm walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind.

And when you feel that gentle breeze, or the wind upon your face,

That’s me giving you a great big hug, or just a soft embrace.

And when its time for you to go, from that body to be free,

Remember you’re not going. You are coming home to me!

I will never forget the day Rhonda came into my house and showed me a little whole she had in her pants...then all of the sudden she ripped them suckers right off..and I mean she ripped em off LOL. Rhonda always had this thing about steeling my jeans LOL, every stinking time she came to my house she would find a reason to put on my jeans....and I would never see them again. One time I was at her house waiting for her to get ready for work, she was being pissy cuz she didnt have anything to wear...I told her to just hurry up and get dressed I was tired of looking at her bear butt....so she laughed and took off towards me and chased me all over the room with her bear butt...I was laughing so hard I could hardly run from her LMAO. God she was always so freakin happy. I am so glad that she was my best friend.

I was thinking this morning about how Rhonda use to always make me and the kids " tickle " her back..she would promise us anything we wanted if we would just tickle her back for her LOL. I would give just about anything to be able to tickle her back for her again.

Well, one night Rhonda came to my house and saw that I was mad as heck. I told her that I was mad cuz the cafe was causing problems with me and "naif". Well she was got mad as heck to so she was ganna go down there with me and " stomp there asses " as she would always say LOL. Well at the time she was driving her red and white pick up, for some dang reason her truck honked it's horn every time she turned the wheel. So we pulled up in front of the Cafe and her truck started honking and would not shut off...we were both so embarresed and were laughing so hard...The craziest things happend to me when I was with Rhonda.

oh gosh i have so many memories of rhonda it would take more than one day to write um all down....but i will tell a few that i thought were pretty good......

......i remember rhonda got a boyfriend and she liked him lots and he wanted her to move to pueblo with him so she decided to see how it would go...i cried cause i didnt want her to go and when she did man i missed her tonz i texted her every single day seeing how she was and beggining her to come back and i never though she would ever come back...i was sittin up in my room with the door locked cause i didnt want my brother or sis buggin me and someone starting banging on the door and i kept tellin um to go away and when i got mad and opened the door there was rhonda...i jumped on her and gave her a big hug and started cryin again cause i was so dang exited to see her and we both ended up cryin lol............

 

 

ok hears another.......rhonda practically lived with us she stayed the night with us almost every night and we would have so much fun we would get the munchys and rhonda would make us go to kum and go and i swear we had like 30 candy bars and couple of bags of chips it was so much junk food but we did that almost every week once in a while just cause we had the munchys lol..........

 

 

another memory.................. me and rhonda were driving around town bord as heck and once again we got the munchys so went out to kum n go and got snacks then started drivin around again...before we went out there i saw i guy that i had been talkin to and he was pretty cute she even thought so lol but she was in her pj's and thought she looked funny but she never did so she wouldnt stop....on our way back from kum n go i begged her to stop and she said "naif if you say a cuss word i will stop" and i never cussed in front of her or my family and she wanted me to lol so i cussed one lil word but so fast you couldnt understand it lol and i remember her laugh "its just like her mothers almost" and she was laughing so much she could barally stay on the road....when we got back to our house she was gonna sleep in my room cause i had a pull out bed under mine and we were sittin there with the light off and there was a little spot on the wall shining and she got so scared cause everytime she moved it would go away "she thought it was a ghost " and i admit i was a lil scared to haha but we found out it was just the light out side lol it was pretty funny...you'd have to be there to really understand these memories lol but i have so many more but i will right them later so i wont cry....i miss that girl so much

Well, I wasnt one of BoBo`s closest friends but everytime I seen her round the small town she made me feel like I was.

 

    But one night I felt like a knew her all too much. Codi, Faith, and I had been hangin out all night while BoBo and the girls went to the bar. We came back to the house at about midnight to see her and a couple of her friends topless in Faiths damn pool. They were hootin and hollerin, wakin the neighbors and Bobo was givin it her all to get us three girls in there with them. Though I think she was a bit to gone to realize that we werent at her alcohol consumption level, she still didnt give a damn. So heres BoBo, topless, drunk, and chasin Faith, Codi and I around the yard. As I look over my shoulder I see Mr. Caldwell pullin up infront of the neighbors house with his lights off seein what the racket was about. Well I guess Rhonda had seen him just in time cause by the time I turned back around she had bailed back in the pool and had one of those blow up floatin beds wrapped around her tryin to get underwater to hide. I was laughin so hard along with everybody else, Mr. Caldwell probly thought we were all drunk. As he walked up to the driveway, he shined his flashlight round and asked, "Anyone been drinkin"...there was Rhonda still wrestling with the damn floatation device tryin to get underwater to be "unseen". Well turns out, Mr. Caldwell had just came by cause the neighbors had called us in for bein to noisy. As soon as he pulled off, there was Bobo, standin up in water, topless. It was a hopeless night. I honestly dont know how we didnt all get in trouble.

 

 

Rhonda was a great woman, she had a heart of gold. Her arms were always open to anyone who needed anything. I miss her and seein her crazy but around the small town. She added life and humor to any situation, it never mattered what mood people were in.

 

She is loved and surely missed more and more everyday.

WELL I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD WRITE A LIL STORY ON HERE FOR BOBO. I SURE MISS HER LOTS, BUT I KNOW SHES WITH ALL OF US.     I WILL NEVER FORGET THE DAY THAT BOBO, LACEY AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE COOL TO DRIVE AROUND IN OUR BRAS AND DO THE CHINESE FIRE DRILL THING WELL IT WAS LACEYS TURN TO DO IT SO SHE GOT OUT WELL WHEN SHE GOT OUT BOBO TOOK OFF DRIVIN LOL SHE MADE LACEY CHASE AFTER THE CAR. GARRET WHITE STOPPED TO SEE IF LACEY WAS OK SHE WAS HIDIN UNDER A TRUCK LOL. WELL BOBO AND I FIGURED WE BETTER GO GET LACEY AND OH BOY WAS SHE ONE PISSED OF GIRL. LOL I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET THAT DAY. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU BOBO

Well Rhonda & I were always very close because we are first cousins! We worked together for about 4-5 months before she passed away and became so very close. She brought this damn cordless cockroach to work with her and I didnt know. I was in a room cleaning and here came this cockroach. You can only imagine what I did. I screamed at the top of my lungs and ran. When I came out the door running Rhonda was on the floor in the hall way laughing her ass off. I couldnt quite figure out why in the hell she wasnt running. Well after about 3 times of that cockroach being in the same room as me I figured it out. She was chasing me with it. I was so mad at her. I told her If I could whoop her butt ..lol...(yeah right)as she would say (ill stomp a mudwhole right in your ass..hehe she so would have me if I would have even tried. About a month ago I had about 400 messages in my myspace inbox so I thought that I would erase them. Well I went through them before I deleted them and I found this one that sais Yager Does Me Good...I knew right then that it was from BoBo. It said: HAY SIS HOW YA DOING NOW LOL WELL I DO HAVE TO SAY TO YOU THAT I DID HAVE A LOT OF FUN WITH YOU LAST NIGHT AND I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I DO LOVE YOU WITH MY EVERYTHING AND THAT I ALWAYS WILL LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT I HOPE THAT EVERYTHING WORKS OUT FOR YOU AND THAT YOU WILL FIND SOMEONE THAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY AND TREAT YOU GOOD AND THAT BRANDON WELL HE IS COOL I DO LIKE HIM HE IS A FUN MAN TO BE AROUND BUT ANYWAYS I CAN LET YOU GO FOR NOW BUT NOT FOR EVER SO I LOVE YOU AND I WILL SEE YOU LATER TONIGHT K YOU CALL ME OF YOU NEED SOMETHING OHH YEA AND SOMETHING ELSE IF YOU NEED ANYTHING SIS YOU KNOW WERE IM AT AND MY HOME IS ALWAYS OPEN TO YOU IF YOU NEED IT SO PLEASE REMEMBER THAT K WELL NOW THAT IM THINKING OF EVERYTHING OF WHAT IM TELLING YOU IM NOW BEING A BALL BABY LOL SO I LOVE YOU AND YOU KNOW WERE IM AT IF YOU NEED SOMETHING

LOVE YOU SIS


BOBO

 

This message makes me cry everytime but I truly know she is always with me....

I had to fill in a few things......

 

Being her sister and one of the closest people to her I have lots of stories......The coolest one of them all is we went to Vernal the weekend before she passed...Friday was the day we left and I rode with her and she looked me in the eye and said "Miss, will you name your baby after me?"  I said no you will have your own kids and you can name them after you.....we laughed cuz I thought she was kidding for she always was a jokester and she was serious......so on Monday morning she died...I named my baby after her for her death threw me into labor I had her 2 days after she died and I named her Rhonda TaeLynn.

When we were little she was so scared of ants and earwigs..it was so funny.  She would freak out and actaully cry when you would joke and say there was one on her, and then she would so beat the hell outta ya for doing it to her.  We used to dance to all sorts of music, and we loved to sing.  We would wear towels all wrapped up on our heads cuz we always wanted long hair....mom never let it grow cuz we were so tenderhead she couldnt brush it lol.  We would flip the towels to the sides and to the back like we were really flippin long hair ha ha.  Rhonda was a proud aunt....her niece was her pride and joy. Rhonda I know is freaking out not being able to touch her anymore and play with her.  Rhonda taught Miranda to act like a bertard and she does it still today.  Almost a year later and my baby girl asks and remembers everything about her "aunt nonni." Rhonda got the nonni name from Mindy she couldnt say Rhonda so she just called her Nonna, and my baby changed it to nonni. 

Rhonda could make you laugh no matter what situation you were in.......wether it be a bad crying sad moment, or pissed off.  She was bound to make ya laugh.   
I have dreams of Rhonda often and some scare me to death...but it just means that she is letting me know that she is ok and we will be fine.  I heard a country song the other day and it said dont feel sorry for the people and be sad for them being in heaven.......be sorry for us here on earth cant see how good heaven really is...

 

Always appreciate the time you have with somebody because you never know when you will see them again or if you ever will. Rhondas death was sudden and so unexpected.

 

 

One time Rhonda, the kids & I were just sitten around the house being silly, and she talked me into mooning the camera with her. Well come to find out, she sent that picture to her mom, dad & rick & roy. So I tackled her down to the ground and sat on her and tickled her till she peed her pants. God she kept me laughing all the time.

I will never forget the time that Rhonda & I went to the ranch to water the garden for her mom while she was away, well while we were there we saw a bear up on the hill near the ranch. I of course ran to the house to get away from the bear, well Rhonda went to the house to get a gun so she could go chase it down and kill it...we jumped in the truck to chase after it, well we were both to scared to leave the windows down all the way, so she tried to turn the gun around and point it out the little crack in the top of her window, and got the butt of the gun stuck in that crack and had the darn thing pointed right at me..so I was scraming for her to please not shoot me, and she was screaming..Im ganna miss the shot, help me get the gun out...after it was all over we laughed so dang hard..oh and she never did get to shoot at that bear..Thank God we didnt catch up with it LOL
