In Tribute to Rhonda Chapman

In our hearts always

Rhonda was such an awesome human being. She inspired us to be better, be kinder and have fun doing it. Thank you to everyone who supported our fundraising event and helped us raise this money towards such an important cause. Penny, Cass, Miranda & Jane

The kids and I will miss you every day. You brought light, love and laughter to our loves. In our hearts forever ♥️

She is at peace after a long battle

There are not enough words to describe our beautiful Rhonda - she has been an amazing part of the Ford Family and will always be in our hearts. Her legacy will live on forever in all the women she has helped and continues to help.

We crossed paths with Rhonda only ever for a short stints at a time, but each time was wonderful, memorable, and impactful on us. Rhonda was larger than life not just for us, but for many in the industry, and she will be sorely missed. Thank you Rhonda for everything you did for us and our partners.

Lots of love and hugs Tim

I hope the joy Rhonda brought during the time of her life will continue on to create something unbelievable from her fund raising focus towards a research breakthrough on Ovarian Cancer and make a Rainbow Connection to the lives of women, especially those we love and part of our lives. Karen

I miss her

You are a precious gift Rhonda 🩵

She will be missed and always in our hearts

What a force of nature you were our dear Rhonda Love and miss you, Perkos ❤️

Always in our hearts.

A wonderful person who will be sadly missed by all who knew her

Rhonda’s wit, wisdom, quick mind and depth of intellect was awe inspiring. She loved people and dogs, and when we shared house, introduced me to West Wing, Northcote bars and music. I will miss her infectious laugh that could shake a room and have everyone smiling. Vale Rhonda

Sending a big warm hug to Tim and family!

Our love house out to all of you.

Rhonda brought a sense of fun to every room she entered and it was always a joy to hang out together and laugh and share stories. I’ll miss her greatly.

Big heart, bold mind, and very many belly laughs. Rhonda leaves a hole in all our hearts.

Rhonda was great fun to work with: and a very droll sense of humour. I remember a road trip for a job from Canberra to Albury, what a fun trip. She will be greatly missed.

Remembering Rhonda!

Fearless, passionate, supportive, caring, strident, curious and loved. Your bright light shines on in our hearts and minds… We offer sincere condolences to those who loved you and are left behind.

Sending lots of love to Tim and Rhonda's family and friends. She'll be so missed ❤️

We can't believe you are gone, but you are with us - we'll miss but feel your presence at every bushwalk, camping trip, beach house, music event, res swim, gathering and party. Missing your laughs, good humour, conversation, attitude to life, and generosity every day.

For dear Rhonda, a life well lived. From Cath and Family.

Rhonda made the world better and brighter. Her laugh would light up a room. RIP dear friend xx

To dearest Rhonda and Fam How much love, laughter, strength, fun, fierceness and cheering we have shared with and received from you. Words cannot describe how much we (and this planet) will miss you. Thanks for being a friend, for sharing precious time and creating unforgettable moments. Love always from the Richo’s/Harley’s/Da Silva’s

Remembering Rhonda as the brilliant, hilarious one off that she was.

Many of us are loved by a few but few are loved by many. Rhonda, you are one of those few. Your energy, fun, passion and integrity are lightening rods for those who seek a better world. Your courage an inspiration. Much love always.

Rest in Peace Rhonda and may your selfless good deeds on this planet be rewarded above

Rhonda was such a fun, intelligent and generous woman. I won't forget the kind support she provided to me in my early career in international development, or her warm friendship. All my love to Tim and family x

You shine so brightly for so many, thank you.

Dear Rhonda, in my mind, I hear your laugh and see your fantastic red shoes, and it's just not right that you aren't actually here now. I didn't get to work with you for long enough but am so grateful for the time you so generously shared. The NGO community is less one bright shining star and you will be greatly missed. Particularly among your Accreditation colleagues. My very best wishes to your family and friends in this so sad time.

Rhonda was naughty, fun and passionate - a blast of laughter every time I met her. My thoughts are with all of you who have loved her and will miss her.

Rhonda died as she lived - with courage, humour and grace. A truly inspirational woman. Marion & Mike

Tim .Ewen and I send our heartfelt sympathy to you We are so sad to hear of Rhonda passing love to you xxx Linda and Ewen

So many wonderful memories of laughs, great conversations, cards, singing and delicious nibbly bits with Rhonda amongst the snowgums - Rhonda you will be so missed by so many people. Truly a woman the world cannot afford to be without. Deepest condolences to Tim and your daughters and wider family and many friends who now have to go on without her.

You were a good friend to my family

On a wing and a prayer we made our way often and you always shone

So many good times and adventures as young Uni students. Thank you for being you. My life is richer for having crossed paths

Remembering the warm, vibrant, irrepressible Rhonda, one of a kind. Her absence will be felt near and far. Sending love and sympathy to Tim and family at this difficult time.

My deepest condolences Tim and families. Rhonda was always so full of life and boundless energy and so committed to making a difference in this world - even as she battled this awful disease. And she did in the lives of all of us who knew and loved her and so many more through her work. Sending love, Conny

Rhonda was an beautiful person. RIP
