Bill & Ellen Fondren

Yesterday

When Bill found out we were related there was a lot of joy. Rita was a giving and caring person, and we loved her so much. We will miss her but cherish the memories that we had time to make with her. Yes, we always said 'Before leaving her home she would make sure the grass was mowed and no leaf left on the ground'. She loved her outdoors activity, and we learned how to take care of flowers from her.
Rest in peace Rita and someday we will meet again.
