There was no orange candles, thank you Reta for letting me know your funeral was today at 1:30 this morning, how blessed I was to know such a caring, loving, understanding friend, you brought laughter to my life lady, thank you for all the wonderful talks and it was great to see all the family, God bless with comfort and hugs, please share some pics of Retas paintings !
We loved to go shopping at all the thrift stores and when our kids were little we would all go to the tennis court and play and laugh, she would listen to all my troubles and always made life fun, will miss this crazy, funny forever friend of almost 50 yrs.
I always liked hearing Rita talk. She had an infectious joy when she spoke. Your name was always safe with her. She didn't gossip.
I remember washing dishes with her. (I can't remember the event but she made the job light.)
