Rita .... Celebrating a Life


Rita passed away Monday night....I received the news early this morning. My church ladies are slowing leaving us. She was my Jenga and Domino rival and partner. She was in her eighties. Her life was dedicated to teaching and the church. She had no living relatives. All of us that knew her and were part of her life are her family.


One could always see her with a smile on her face. Never to be outdone, she was always "dressed to the nines" in hand made lace and linen dresses with matching purse and shoes. I remember she was the first one on the dance floor at the last church social event.


There will be some sadness because she will be missed, but (I believe) she is where she should be. It is what we believe, preach and celebrate. So, I will be happy that she is at peace and in a heavenly place living it up. I don't really mourn the death, but celebrate the life.
