Dear Family, we are so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one. Words seem not enough at your time of loss, but with much prayer and the passing of time you sadness will soften. The Bible at Revelation 21:3,4 promises that God will one day wipe away all
sickness and death and tears, and we certainly look forward to that wonderful time. Our prayers and love go with the family. Warm Christian love, the Negrones Family
Rita, Your passing was so sudden and unexpected. I sit here struggling to find all the right words as my heart aches. We had our differences over the years but you were always there for me, and for Evelyn. You were a wonderful grandmother. We loved receiving your colorful letters. We take peace in knowing that you are no longer suffering but our hearts break knowing this is goodbye. We received your last letter just hours before hearing of your death. I’m sorry we couldn’t be there more but I hope that you knew how much we loved you. I will not let Evelyn forget how deeply you loved her. Rest in peace Rita. Love Angela
Dear Grandma Rita, One of my fondest memories is sitting around playing dice games with you at the dinner table. I also remember laying in bed with you and telling you stories that I came up with. You’d ask me questions and help me evolve the stories. You were always smiling and laughing. Those were some good times!
Thank you for all the letters you took the time to write me. So many things I didn’t know and wouldn’t have ever known if you hadn’t written me so often. I’m sorry I didn’t write you more but I hope that you enjoyed the times I did and the pictures I made you. I’m in High School now and it’s hard work. I stay super busy.
You will always be in my heart Grandma Rita. I love you! I will miss you!
Love, Evelyn
