    Hi Randy and family,
    Sympathy to you and your family. Rhea made our day all those years at the Big M. You worked for awhile with my now deceased husband Jeremy. Rhea made us feel a special connection with her. Loved her bright smile.

      To the family of Rhea Thornton : we had a cottage up at Alex Bay back in 1999–2910 & always stopped in to the Big M & enjoyed talking with her. She was the nicest lady & always had something nice to say. My husband passed away in 2010 so I sold & never came back up. I often wonder how everyone that I met was doing .My thoughts & prayers go out to you Randy. A wonderful lady! May God Bless!πŸ™πŸ»

    Rhea was my first client when I started working in homecare. I treasured my time with her and her beloved kitty, Margaret. So sorry she’s gone but happy to have known her!
