Dear Dewayne, I’m so very sorry for your loss of Retha. I still hear her laughter & have a thousand memories of her. She was a special, good hearted person & those of us who could call her a dear friend were, indeed, better for knowing her. You & your family are in my prayers & I know The Lord will see you through, as He promises to be close to us when we’re brokenhearted.
