Even though we lost someone special to us, at least we know that she's in a better place. God will now have an amazing angel with Him, and she will be watching over us, giving us her blessing. She will be greatly missed by family and friends alike, but she will always have a place in our hearts, keeping her closer to us than we think.

Lita was such a great lady and one of the people that I remember most fondly from my childhood. I know she's finding peace right now in a better place. My prayers and sympathy to Ms. Rose, Nakia, George and the family for your loss of this beautiful rose.

To Loose A Sister

I have a question
To ask all of you
See if "you" can answer
Please answer true

Can you comprehend
The "loss" I feel inside
To loose a sister so dear
A sister I called mine

She always greeted me
With a hug and a smile
A cheek-kiss and kind words
Like "Lets sit and talk awhile"

Though she's gone now
To GOD's Paradise so fair
She'll always be in my heart
With all my other loved ones who's there

Always loved and never forgotten
Your Sister and her family
Lloyd, Kesha, Dee, Bud, and the twins (Aerielle and Gabryelle)
