Posted on: Tuesday, January 3, 2017I am so sorry for the passing of Rhea, I work for Carepartners and Rhea was one of my clients, I always enjoyed the time I got to spend with her. We had many conversations and lots of laughs. She told me that I made her feel good, and loved that I made her laugh . For the short time I knew her, I love the way she always told anyone that called before she hung up that she loved them. She gave me a hug at Christmas , I will cherish that! Rhea I am so happy I got to meet you! God bless.

Posted on: Wednesday, January 4, 2017I am very saddened to learn of the loss of Rhea. My memories go back to Darnley and living and going to school together. The whole Hickey family were very dear to our family and our mothers grew up together in Hamilton. Over the years, I have kept in touch with some Hickey family members as our paths have crossed. Sincere sympathy from both Richard and I goes to all the family. Cherish all the wonderful memories. God Bless all of you.
