We are sorry to hear about your loss. Sickness has robbed us
of our loved ones resulting in their death. May these scriptures
bring you all comfort. Isaiah 33:24 promises ,"And no resident
will say: “I am sick.” The people dwelling in the land will be
pardoned for their error." When Jesus was on earth he healed
the sick and raised the dead. At John 11:25 "Jesus said to her:
“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith
in me, even though he dies, will come to life." What a
wonderful hope we can look forward to and may God
strengthened you in the days ahead.

I worked with Rita at ATT.. she was on my team when Amanda Rose was our Manager. She was very sweet. I had talked to her just a few days before she passed. I am so sorry for your loss. She will be missed.
She was such a blessing to me. She was a precious lady and
one of the strongest women I knew. I will forever miss her we
had so much fun together and so many laughs. My heart and
prayers are with the family. May Gods peace comfort you like
