  4. We are so sorry to hear of Rita’s passing. She certainly left this life far too early. As all of you kids know, we knew Rita since high school and early on, spent quite a bit of time with Randy and Rita. She was one of the sweetest people to have graced this earth and she loved her children beyond measure.
    We know it must be devastating to have lost your mom so early and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Be assured, she will be watching over you.

  6. What a sweet spirit Rita had.
    Most of my memories of Rita are from Liberty Baptist Church. I looked up to both Pam and Rita during my teen years. During this time, when you said Rita, the name Randy was not far behind. And in their marriage, 4 beautiful children were born. And in all four children you can see a little of each of them. I know that times are different now, but our history and who we are remains the same. I pray for family healing during this very difficulty time. May you reflect on how very precious and short our time together is and how important family relationships are as they make us who we are today.
    God bless you and keep you safe as you continue through your life’s journey.
    Love always,
    Lisa Frazier (Larratt)
