Today I rise to remember the life of Rhonda LeRocque. Rhonda attended the Route 91 Festival in Las Vegas on October 1. Rhonda was married to her husband, Jason, for 21 years, with whom she had a 6-year-old daughter, Ali. Rhonda and Jason were very active in their church and enjoyed participating in humanitarian projects together. One of their biggest projects was when they traveled to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina to help rebuild homes. Rhonda worked for a design firm in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but dreamed of opening up her own catering business. She loved skiing, cooking, and baking, but nothing could surpass her love for her family. She is remembered for being a selfless and joyful woman who had a strong faith. I would like to extend my condolences to Rhonda LeRocque's family and friends. Please know that the city of Las Vegas, the State of Nevada, and the whole country grieve with you. ____________________
