Mike, I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad I got to meet her and enjoyed her company. She was such a sweet lady and will be greatly missed.
Our thoughts and condolences are with you and your family at this time. I remember many stories my mother, Louise Heaton, and Reatha shared.
I remember Ms Retha singing with my Brother Bill at the Nazarene church. She was a wonderful Christian woman and I know she will be missed by all her family and friends.
She is in heaven now singing up a storm!
sorry for your loss Buddy..
To Mike & family so sorry & my condolences for the loss of your mother.
