Miss Rita,
It's so hard to believe it's been 10 years since you went to be with our Lord God! It seems like yesterday when we were all in Tennessee together. What Fun we had! Remembering what a joy you were to be around and getting to know you! Saying some prayers for you and Family as I write this. May the Lord keep you near in Heaven.
Love, Valara and Benjamin Gee (Cajankee)
