"Rita Lewis, we'll miss your touch... April 23rd, 2011"

Rita… Dearest Rita,
your kind sweet soul will
be missed, and what grief
we felt by hearing of your
health has us reeling…
swept of feeling to hear
you passed…
passed so quickly, it was only
yesterday we heard of your
battle… what ravaged your body
but not your sweet spirit,
and it is this we will remember,
your gentleness
and tender heart…
and why you were loved so.

    A BEAUTIFUL , HEARTFELT TRIBUTE RUSSELL!!!!! MY CONDOLENCES TO YOU AND ALL WHO LOVED HER!

  • My heart on this one Ray. The young lady was very gracious of spirit and never a bad word about anyone. All of us that knew her just found out she had cancer… about a month ago, and we heard it went to the bone. Now this but I firmly believe she suffers no more. Thanks for your feelings here.
