Reta, I came into your life as your step-daughter March, 1985, and you welcomed me with love then, and we have been so close ever since, my world won't be the same. You would have been so very proud of the very nice words Gary spoke about you, and he dearly loved you also. I will miss you, but I know you are at peace and no longer in pain. God be with you.

Reta, my lifelong friend. I will miss you each and every day. I have such wonderful memories of you, Wendell and I going to Canada, none of us were gamblers but we found other things to do. I remember our times in florida and finding adventure around every corner. When Ralph came with me to see you, he understood just how much you've meant to me and he was willing to do anything he could to help you.
Goodbye my beautiful friend till we're all together again. I love and miss you very much.

Oh how I am going to miss our phone conversations. I think I have talked on the phone with Reta everyother day since 2002 when I lost my Mom. I will miss you dear friend. You were such a big part of my life. We really had some good times together when Wendall was here and after he left. I know you two will be together again now. God Bless and keep you. Charlotte
