Dear Rita,
Just wanted you to know that you are remembered and missed. I visited the gravesites of Bettye, Doris Jean, and Lee on Saturday, August 20, 2022. Missing my aunts. We think about you often.
Until we meet again.
Love,
Tinka

Dear Rita,
When someone is loved they're always taken too soon. You are loved. We will miss your sense of humor, your laughter, your stories and most of all your presence. RIP and give everyone a hug and kiss from me.
To R & L,
Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. -

I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the Bible at Isa. 33:24 - "When no one will say, I am sick".
