    I 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.

    So sorry to hear of Rhea’s passing, I was a great friend of Rhea’s all through high school and although we didn’t correspond a lot since she moved out of province I had the opportunity a few years ago to spend a weekend with her in Fredericton.  Just wanted to pass on our sympathy to all the family.  Debbie (Wall) Young, Alphonse Young & Family.

    I 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.
