Fred there are no words to adequately express the number of lives Retha touched. My Mother was one of her former teachers. Your wife was highly respected and admired by many. Retha was a beautiful soul. My brother was one of those people who she had a huge impact on. Jason does not mention many people but she showed him kindness and respect. Thank you for sharing her with us.

I worked with Retha several years at McNeill's Jewelers in Biggs Park Mall. No matter what was going on, she always had a smile on her face and a pleasant word for every one of her customers and coworkers. She was a star for the people that knew and loved her. She will most certainly be sorely missed by everyone she touched with her charm, warmth, and kindness. For me, she was a shoulder to lean on during some of my most trying times as a young adult. She will live on in my heart as I try to emulate her kindness and compassion with everyone with which I come in contact. My heart aches for her family. You will be in my prayers.
