Words From Mama’s Heart
My Beautiful Baby girl
I thought that the night you died was the worst of my life.
But that night I was able to hold and kiss you.
I have wished every day and night since then to be able to do the same,
but can only dream of it now.
Some nights my dreams are so real, I awaken expecting to find you here with me.
Dreams and memories can make you sad for not having future times together
but they can also bring back happier times
like the day that you were born 42 years ago.

Rita was my my best friend , I loved her so much she was there with me through hard times and great times ! Words cannot express the heartbreak I feel . She was like a sister toe , I can’t believe she is gone I’m still in shock ! She had such a big heart such a love for her friends and family. if you were lucky enough to meet Rita then you’re very blessed and if you were lucky enough to have her as a friend you were even more blessed. A lot of people didn’t know how to take Rita understand ! She was very outspoken and you didn’t care what anyone thought about what she said she said how she felt and that was it I remember all the good times that we had at the river with Alexis I remember me and Crystal and her going back to the dirt hills so I can cigarettes that she stole out of the refrigerator from her mom. remember when Granny Wade used to take us to skateland on Sundays for penny a pound I remember so many good times we shared as children and as adults. I wish I would have been over say goodbye just as I know everyone does but I know that she’s watching over us from above and she will always remain in my heart. I love you Rita my best friend you were like a sister to me bring up together around the Wade’s house I was like the third daughter I was there more than I was in my own house. She will forever live in my heart and in my mind and I pray for Donovan and I know his mother loves him very much and is watching over him from above and will for eternity ! Until we meet again rita the blank blank. I love you

Rita impacted many of us and I will miss her as well. She wanted so much for herself and fought hard everyday. In the last several months she would call me while working the desk for the taxi company and we would work though the struggle together. She will be forever missed and her picture will hang in HARP.
Karl she spoke of you often, how you helped her through her hard times thank you for being there for her. Her Mama.
May her name be a blessing to all who knew her.
I’m sad that you are gone. My deepest condolences to the family ?. Sincerely
Thank you all for your kind words, she did have a heart of gold. I miss her terribly ?
I love you forever and always. Ups and downs. We have been through more than anyone knows. We will never be understood by anyone else. From nights with the kids to traveling the country. You will have my heart always. I’ll miss those long nights stuck at some random truck stop, just talking. Or you know lol. You were my best friend, my lover, and the light at the end of this black tunnel. I’ll see you again baby! I’ll do anything I can for your son and your mom. I know your not hurting anymore and I hate myself for not answering your call for help. I love you so much! Always have and always will.
