Obituary of Rhonda Lee Gregg
Rhonda Lee Gregg was born in Hamilton, ON on July 3, 1963. She was the daughter of the late Milton Gregg and the late Elizabeth Robinson and loving mother of Jolee and Sarah Gregg.
Even though Rhonda resided most of her adult life in Hamilton and raised her two children there, she always referred to Sussex as her “East Coast Home”. She loved her summers spent in Newtown and Plumweseep.
When Rhonda was a little girl she was in a fire, they claimed it should have taken her at that time to her maker, but being the strong willed person she was, she survived and proved all those doctors wrong. Even though she was told that she would never bear children she proved them wrong again and had two beautiful little girls. Those girls, Jolee and Sarah, were her pride and joy, her greatest accomplishment in life.
Rhonda was the most caring and compassionate person you could ever meet. When people would bless her with things or do anything to help her, it was if you had just given her the best thing, the most beautiful thing, she could ever have received in this world. She would praise you for doing anything for her. She was truly the most thankful person. Rhonda was loyal and loving and she loved her family to the end of her life. She would do anything for you and if anyone ever wronged you, she was the first person to have your back and support you. Her life motto was "blood is thicker than water."
Rhonda was one of the toughest people you could ever meet. Life continued to knock her down, over and over again, but each time, she got back up fighting. She was the strongest, toughest person I ever knew.
In addition to her beautiful daughters, Rhonda leaves behind her siblings Darrell Gregg (Patricia Gaudio), Vernon Gregg, and Susan Gregg of Hamilton, ON and Dereck `Digger` Gregg and his wife Jessica of Midland, NB; her sister Tina Gregg of Cassidy Lake, NB; step-mother and life-long friend, Linda Anderson; Her only Grandson Jesse; nieces Carolyn, Shauna, Marley and Jayden; nephews Brian, Brandon and Emerson and her faithful, four-legged, little companion, Jasper.
Along with her parents, she was predeceased by her sisters Sherry and Dawn.
At the age of 53, Rhonda Lee Gregg left this world unexpectedly on Thursday Feb 23rd, 2017 at the Sussex Heath Center, leaving behind her amazing daughters Sarah and Jolee and so many family and friends who loved her very deeply.
A gathering of friends and family will be held at her cousin and friend Little Shirley’s place (133 Knightville Road) on March 4th at 6pm. All are welcome to attend.
Jealous Of The Angels - (written by Jenn Bostic)
I didn't know today would be our last
Or that I'd have to say goodbye to you so fast
I'm so numb, I can't feel anymore
Prayin' you'd just walk back through that door
And tell me that I was only dreamin'
You're not really gone as long as I believe
There will be another angel
Around the throne tonight
Your love lives on inside of me,
And I will hold on tight
It's not my place to question,
Only God knows why
I'm just jealous of the angels
Around the throne tonight
You always made my troubles feel so small
And you were always there to catch me when I'd fall
In a world where heroes come and go
Well God just took the only one I know
So I'll hold you as close as I can
Longing for the day, when I see your face again
But until then
God must need another angel
Around the throne tonight
Your love lives on inside of me
And I will hold on tight
It's not my place to question
Only God knows why
I'm just jealous of the angels
Around the throne tonight
Feel No Guilt in Laughter
Feel no guilt in laughter, she’d know how much you care.
Feel no Sorrow in a smile that she is not here to share
You cannot grieve forever, she would not want you to.
She’d Home that you could carry on the way you always do.
So, Talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared,
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared.
Let Memories surround you, a word someone may say
will suddenly re-capture a time, an hour a day.
That brings her back so clearly as though she were still here today,
and fills you with the feeling that she is always near.
For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart
And she will live forever locked safety in your hearts.
