Psalm 72:26
REMEMBER ME
Don’t remember me with sadness,
Don’t remember me with tears,
Remember all the good times,
Shared throughout the years.
Now I am contented
That my life was worthwhile,
Because I know by loving you
That I made you smile.
When you are walking down the street
And you’ve got me on your mind,
I’m walking in your footsteps.
Only half a step behind
So lease don’t be unhappy
Just because I’ out of sight.
Remember that I’m with you
Every morning, noon and night.

Anita was always so eager to listen, to understand and to share. She and I talked often; she was loving concerned mother, grandmother and wife. She always spoke proudly of her husband and family, keeping herself second. Anita will be missed for she was always there for me. You are now in a better place, never to be forgotten gotten, but always loved! God bless the Roderick-Thomas family!!
My heart and prayers go out to your family Nita. I know it's them you wish us to reach out to and comfort now. Thank you for always making me feel welcome, as a friend, You will be missed.🙏
It is always hard to say goodbye any time, but it makes it harder when it is the holidays. Just remember the good times and know she is with you everyday. Lucia and family, sending much love your way.🌻
