    Dear Cindy, Frankie and Tina, I was saddened to hear about Nita. June 2011 would have made forty-two years we've been neighbors. There are good memories- such as watching Cindy and Ken mastering their very own successful business; such as watching Frankie mastering his tennis playing and watching Tina mastering her dancing skills. You must know how proud your Mom was of her family. There was Lanette and Jamie her very pretty grandchildren, and two great grandchildren for her to love. Her picture on the internet is gorgeous. With caring and prayers, Joyce Oh, I almost forgot. Nita made the most delicious cakes ever- if you don't believe me, ask Frankie!!

God Bless you all. with love, Susan Roethlinger-Riggs
