Dear Gordon Family, I’m so saddened to learn of Rhonda’s passing. Jessica and Bradley had lots of playdates from the Learning Tree days. I will always remember what a sweet and kind person she was, as well as a loving mother. My sincerest condolences to her family.

Every interaction I had with or about Rhonda was full of happiness and joy. From her inviting me into her home and treating me as one of the family, to the many conversations Jess and I had about her wonderful taste in music, her memory will forever live on. I’m so grateful that I was able to know her and very thankful for the woman she help shape her daughter into. Rest in love.

I’m so blessed to have had Rhonda in my life for almost as long as I can remember. It’s been a journey…the fun, the mischief, the trouble, the unconditional love and support of each other…it can never be replaced. We always knew that her family came first though…her love for Stephen and his for her…her amazing children and their families…that is what made her shine with pride and joy. For me, she will never be gone…she left a footprint on my heart that can never be erased. Sending love and strength to all of you….Mary

I didn’t know Rhonda, but I knew Dr. Gordon. She had to be an amazing wife, given the recent heartache I could sense through his professional demeanor since serving me for over a decade. When Dr. Gordon sold his practice to care for Rhonda, it let me know she was his forever/eternal soul mate. My prayers go out to him, their children and family. Deepest Sympathy, Linda Cohran

Working for Dr. Gordon allowed me the opportunity to witness the beautiful relationship of the deep love he and his lovely wife Rhonda had for each other! I remember when Dr. Gordon dropped everything while we were working at his dental practice to go to his wife’s side when she called from the doctor’s office regarding a result from her breast exam! My coworker and friend Veronica and I turned to each other and said “what a wonderful husband!!! We would be so lucky finding such a great husband!!!” It was always about family first with the Gordon family!! Big loss! But Rhonda is now in paradise rejoicing. My deepest sympathy to the Gordon family.

Rhonda got her start teaching fitness classes in 1984 at my workout business, PPF. She became the manager and worked with me closely for several decades., ultimately buying my company . During those 25 years,, we were so close! Her energy, enthusiasm, dedication , and positivity were contagious, everyone loved her classes. I can still hear her “Come ON!” She exemplified loyalty, dedication and commitment. How many dozens of times did we stand on the podium together with our headphone mics on giggling , leading the crowd of clients with knee lifts and jumping jacks to The Beach Boys song HELP Me Rhonda.? We shared a special bond.
My heart is heavy but I cherish many many memories. RIP, Rhonda.
