To the family and friends of Rita(Townsend):

My heart was truly hurt by the passing of Rita. I was just informed on today January 12, 2006 of her passing. I am sitting here in tears just thinking about it. I remember Rita when I was a young child from the church on Taylor street. She was always so kind to me and my sisters and brothers. My grandparents were members of the church Mother Harris and Deacon Harris. Words cannot express my feelings, Sis Harris, Roy and Debbie...

Deborah, Dameta and Rockell and family,

I'm sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. To have known your mother was a blessing. She touched many with her kindness and her voice of praise!

"When we all get to Heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be!"
Deborah, Rockell, Damita, Damon, & Darren just remember: Rita stopped through to love, labor, & birth you; To show you the way each and everyday. Sometimes she made you mad; Sometimes she made you sad.But in everyway and everyday be glad; That Rita knew through her strength and tough love; That God would continue to bless & love you from Heaven above. Rita studied, prayed, & praised to prepare for this day to come; So...
