Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced that his wife Rhonda died on Thursday. It’s unknown what caused her death, but Massie said she had visited Mount Rainier with him and other family members last week.

“Yesterday my high school sweetheart, the love of my life for over 35 years, the loving mother of our 4 children, the smartest kindest woman I ever knew, my beautiful and wise queen forever, Rhonda went to Heaven,” Massie said. “Thank you for your prayers for our family in this difficult time.”
