I have known Retha for many years as you in the family will know. I have visited her several times in the nursing home. I was there a couple of weeks back and began singing familiar gospel songs and hymns. Retha's eyes were closed, but when I began singing, she opend them wide. As I sang "Jesus Loves Me," she began pointing to herself with her left hand. That was like letting me know that she knew Jesus loved her. I will miss her. I will be out of town when you have the visitation and her memorial service but wanted you to know how special she was to me. Nell Collins
