My deepest sympathy. Although I didn't know your father I met him at least two times. I was a small child at grandma Preto funeral was the first time. Next occasion was Uncle Claire (Bubba) funeral in Georgia around 1996. I'm glad to know my uncle worked in the church and was married to a reverend. I also met your mother in 1996. I remember she was praising God. I hope as first cousins we can get to know each other. I've been saved almost 23 years. So we are double kin. God will see you through this period of mourning. Next month it will be 21 years since the passing of my mother (Hattie Mae Tyler Lawrence). Aunt Juanita told me that the obituary was online. This is how I was able to contact you. Prayerfully I will hear from you soon.

To the Zeigler McMillan Family. Many times when I visited my Father (MV Ritter, Sr) Mr. Zeigler would be there and they would be having a good ole time eating and talking about life. He was my Dad's best buddy and always a good neighbor to us when we were kids. May God continue to over-shadow all you with His love & peace during this trying time.

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
