Its amazing how one person can effect us in such a strong way. 15 1/2 was not enough for us but it was for Ramona to effect all of us in a way that she could only do. She had her daddy's eyes but all of our heart. Ramona you will always be my special dancing angel. I love you... Your aunt Marian

I first held Ramona at her great greatgranmothers 100th birthday party. Ramona was 10 months old. She was a big happy baby girl. I often wonder why we are here on earth for such a short time. People come and go quickly here. You try to find a place where you wont get into any trouble. There must be a place. Far far away beyond the moon, beyond the rain. Shes over the rainbow. One day our rainbows will cross and i will see you then. I will always remember when we took a drive to see my mother at her final resting place and Ramona looked around and said i hope when i get old i will be in a beautiful place like this. I will always have that special place for you in my heart. Much love your uncle in law Tim.

My dear Sissy,
Oh how you lighted my life on 25 July 1992 and continue to do so until that day when GOD needed a Special Angel. We miss you so terribly that it hurts all over. Since your first day on this earth you were my LITTLE LINDA and now that you are gone no one will ever take that place. You ALWAYS made me proud at everything you did. GOD gave me a special assignment to be your Father and I hope I did not let you down for I was the lucky one that GOD allowed me to be your Father here. I will forever still love you my little linda and carry you in my heart until we get to see each other at the pearly gates of heaven.

Mr. & Mrs. Rodriguez and Rey

Words cannot express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Ramona was a student I could count on to make me smile on a daily basis. I was always giving her a hard time about being a cheerleader, but it was something she loved to do and was good at. I will miss her smile, seeing her cheering on the sidelines, and watching her play volleyball. She was an excellent student-athlete and guarantee her memory will forever live on at EHS. My deepest sympathy to your family.

Dear Rodriguez Family,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Ramona was a brilliant and vivacious young woman. Every day that I had her in class I knew it would be full of fun and laughter. Ramona had a contagious smile that brightened the room. I loved having her on my Yearbook staff this year, because not only was she dedicated, but it meant I got to have her for two classes again this year. I truly loved your daughter and will forever cherish the funny, witty, spunky, cheerful, outgoing and vocal young woman that she was. Please let me know if you need anything.
Again, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Uncle Rene, Aunt Patricia, and Reynaldo,
There are no words to express my sorrow for your deep loss. Your little Angel is now in heaven as one of God's little angels. Although Ramona and I did not see each other often, I will always remember this one day when my Dad and I visited you in Texas, when me, Reynaldo, and Ramona were all singing songs in the car. One song in particular was "I'll be missing you" by P.Diddy. Now, whenever I hear that song, I think of Ramona, not in a sad way, but in a way that will remind me to think of her as the wonderful person she was. I will always remember Ramona as a beautiful, happy, and fun girl who will continue to be her happy self in Heaven. I love you guys, and I love you Ramona.

Amanda Lamb

January 22, 2008

It is hard to come up with the right words to say at a time like this. No words could ever express the great loss that our family is feeling at this time.

Sending you lots of love and prayers.
