"The road was getting too rough to walk,
The hills too hard to climb,
So God closed Rita's weary eyes
And told her 'Peace be thine'."
---author unknown.
This verse was sent to me by a dear friend when my father passed away and it has always stuck with me. I hope it will bring some comfort to the rest of our family as we mourn Rita's passing.
I hadn't seen Rita in a number of years; time and distance separated us, but I have memories going back 40+ years of when we were all kids and I will never forget her laughter, wit, and generousity.
Goodbye, cousin.

To Rita's family: I send my sincere hope that each of you may find peace and consolement in this time of grief. Rita was a wonderful person who I was proud to say I knew as a neighbor and friend. May the Lord take care of each of you as He is taking care of Rita now.
Chris Pruitt,
neighbor at Pierce Street.
