Rita I'm sorry I didn't know until today. I have called your number lots of times. I wish you had told me you were sick. I will forever miss you.

Ms. Tharp was the sweetest person you could meet! May she rest in the arms of the Lord!!

We met a co-workers in Fort Worth. We became sister-friends and shared meals, fellowship, prayer meetings and ministry encouragement thru the years. I moved back to Missouri, but the telephone and facetime kept us connected, until we could enjoy Mexican food during my visits to Texas. I watched my sister friend walk in faith always. I am thankful for her perseverance! Now she rest with Jesus in the cloud of great witnesses! I will surely miss her, but so glad our paths crossed 25 years ago ~

Our warmest thoughts, prayers and sympathy go out to the family of Rita Tharp. May memories of all that you've shared bring your family comfort and peace. The Kenneth Smith Family
