There's no words that can express my LOVE for you. You've done so much for so many, especially me. Rita, that's why I will not be getting into any trouble because you're not here to bail me out.(smile) You have been a big sister that any sister would want to have "I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART" and you would not be forgotten.

Shante' and family,
How can I ever express my deepest hurt and sadness at Ms. Ritas' death? How can I ever imagine what you feel, how you hurt, what loss you feel? My words although inadequate, can only reflect my own deepest sorrow for that I know you want her to be with you right now hoping that this is only a very bad dream. There isnt a day that will go by that you wont think of her. Her smile, her laugh, and her way with people she knew. I wish upon wish that she could be here. I know you all miss her greatly but, at least you have her captured in your hearts and have countless pictures of her with family and friends throughout the years. You all can be proud of Ms. Rita. She hung on as long as she could but she got tired. I know you loved her deeply and as much as I know she will always be with you.
My deepest sympathy,
Tequoria (Shantes friend)

The day and Hour Unknown
No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
Wanda and Family my prayers will continue to be with you, Rita will be missed on earth but her spirit is never forgotten.

My heart is saddened whenever I see a childhood friend pass on. I remember when we used to play @ the corner of Wellington and Hazelhurst. I know you all have fond memories of Rita as I do!
May she rest in peace.

"To everything there is a season,and A time to every purpose under heaven.
A time to be born,and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to reap that which is planted. A time to kill, and A time to heal; A time to break down,and a time to build up;
A time tp weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn,and a time to dance AMEN!
