Mama Retha was one of a kind. She stood on business and was very loving and caring. She taught me many things that I didn´t understand when I was younger, but I definitely get it as an adult. Everything she taught me I taught to my children. She taught me how to be and present myself as a lady, but never take no mess from nobody. I remember on Fridays after school we go to the store and get kimchi crab, saltine crackers, and watch movies all night. RIH Beautiful you will never be forgotten. I Will Forever Love You My Heart Mama Retha
