It’s been two weeks since my lovely Rhonda passed and I am still devastated, but the four wonderful children she brought into this world and nurtured so perfectly have surrounded me with love and comfort.
Over 1,000 friends and family attended her services and/or sent flowers and other tributes to her memory. I want to thank them and those of you who have prayed for us and who have honored Rhonda in other ways.
Our family has cried hard and we have laughed at happy memories of her. With the help of others who have experienced similar losses, I have accepted I can get through this but I will never get over this. I don’t ever want to lose her memory.
Although I first reacted with indignation to internet conspiracy theories about her death, I’ve since been amused because I know Rhonda would have laughed, and if I were on the outside I might have similar concerns. Without violating her privacy, I can dismiss some of those theories by disclosing: she did not take the COVID shots (we were both seropositive by the time they became available), our house is very secure, family was in the house the night she passed, and an autopsy has been conducted (we do not yet have results).
I have joked that after poring through hundreds of photographs of us since high school, the only credible conspiracy I can offer is a gorgeous girl who was a literal genius conspired to make a congressman, who would be steerable by no one but her, out of an awkward nerd by taking him as her boyfriend at age 16 and committing to decades of continuously molding him into something better. #sassywithmassie
I am returning to work for the people of Kentucky’s Fourth Congressional District, and I beg your forgiveness for the votes I missed during this difficult period. With Rhonda no longer with me, I will strive to summon the grace and patience and wisdom she quietly and selflessly dedicated to the effort of serving you.

I wonder if the Hur tape is going to leak this week…
What a beautiful note from Thomas Massie. That poor man.
I knew a man years ago through work. He went hunting with his friends one year for a week, as he always did, and when he returned, his wife, who he loved dearly, was in her rocking chair, passed away. She was only 42 years old, and they found no reason for her death....just natural causes.
I am guessing the same thing happened to Mrs. Massie.
That is a beautiful letter from congressman Massey to his constituents and the public at large. It’s so from the heart and honest and Rall. Thanks for posting it
I wonder if she had any type of surgeries recently. If so a blood clot could have formed and broke loose. That happened to one of our local newsman’s, girlfriend. She had some minor surgery on her foot and a clot broke and she keeled over dead a few days later.
I hope he lets us know when he gets the report back what did happen.
