Dear sister it's been 16 years now and seems like a lifetime for me. I'm still missing you so much. Our mother Helen Roberts is now with you since 2021. I miss you both so much constantly on my mind and in my my heart. Love you so much. Mary Frances Rice

Still missing you my sweet little sister. Its been 10 years now since you had to meet with our Lord Jesus. Only seems like yesterday we were hanging out at the lake with bonfires and all the kids of all our families. I will always grieve over your loss but cherish our memories. Someday we will meet again in peace and well being. Love you Maretta my sister, Sissy.

Maretta,
I am at a loss for words yet have alot to say... I miss you so very much. I choose to remember all the good times, laughter & joy you brought into my life! The little things..sneaking into SouthPark Meadows for the Hootie & the Blowfish concert~Living together in Del Valle & Kyle~ Nacho Delux Nights~Camp Ben & the cactus bush~I could go on & on....You were there for me & my kids when I wasn't even there for myself.That one quality in you..your heart, is one of the most...

Maretta, I first want to start this by saying that words can not express the love I have and will always have for you. And all the memories and good times I have shared with you throughout my life.You were always the one I could look up to and ask for advice, or just the one person who could always make me laugh when it seemed impossible.Many years of my life we lived together and me and you shared a room, so I got to know first hand what a great person you really are inside and out, one of...

Maretta had THE STRONGEST will of ANY person I've ever known.
I remember her coming down "the hill" at the trailer park to my house, telling me "Debbe, I just need to stay here for a little bit before I beat somebody and end up in jail." Maretta loved her family with all her heart.
She's up in Heaven getting everything straightened out and ready for the rest of us when it's our time to go home to the Lord's House.
ALL WHO WAS BLESSED TO HAVE MARETTA IN THEIR LIVES HAS A NEW...

Maretta, I have been sitting here remembering, Gosh all the times you made us laugh so hard we wet our paints, or fell off the horses laughing so hard, or pulling over the car to get our eyes cleared from the tears from laughing so hard or just chillin whatching the peace in the air, We miss you already, I know you are in a better place and with our loved ones that have already taken the journey, I pray that god gives Aunt Helen, Sissy, Beverly, Roger,Gene Claudelly,& Rosie the strength in...

My dearest sister,
I will always remember lying in bed with you at your house with barbecue and reading to you when your eyesight got so bad you could no longer see. I know how much you loved to read stories like the ones I read to you. I remember all the times you called me in the middle of the night just to tell me you love me and that you were scared. It terrified me when your cancer progressed to the point where you could no longer speak to me on the phone to tell me those things. I...

Hi Aunt Retta,

Bethany and I will miss you very much. Please say hi to James for me, and remember how much we all loved you.

Shay & Bethany

Maretta,

There is no more pain, no more suffering, you are in a beautiful place now! We will all meet again someday...You may be gone from our sights, but not from our minds! Just know that I still hold dear to my heart a quote you told me on the day of my wedding in 2004. It didn't make much sense at the time, but I finally figured it out, and I will always cherish that.... Love & God Bless
