Reta was one of the best friends I had. She helped me get through a lot of cabin fever during the Covid shutdown. We lived close together and got together for lunch at my house several times. She was also a part of the Friday night prayer group at my house before the Covid shutdown. I will miss her greatly but picture her dancing on the streets of glory!

I am so sorry for your loss. I know that my mom would have been just as devastated to hear this news. Take comfort in knowing that those who went before will be waiting with open arms to welcome Reta. Thinking of you and your family in this time.
