Moody, TX Friday, March 29, 2019 Dalton, Gale and family, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Rita. She was a dear friend who cared so much about others. She was a great Christian lady and I know she is up there in Heaven with Jesus. I am sorry that I learned about her passing so many months afterward, but I take comfort that we will be reunited with her one day. God Bless you all and know that God will comfort and strengthen you each day. I love you all.Williams Family
