Dear Sandy, Randy and Beverly,
I am so sorry to hear of Reita's passing. She was a wonderful, warm woman with a deep faith. We thank God for her long life and our eternal hope to see her again, but her death also leaves a big hole. May God give you comfort at this time and joy in the memories of time spent together.
Sweet Reita Good
Sandy and Randy, I just learned today of your mother's passing...I have nothing but wonderful memories of our parents together, always laughing and having fun. Reita was my mother's best friend, her West Chester sister. I am so glad I saw your mom within the last year, it was like old times. She was the kindest, most thoughtful and caring woman I think I've ever met and will cherish her memory always. My deepest sympathy to your whole family as you go on without her. She and Mom have some catching up to do!
