Celebrating Rita’s 90th birthday. Here are stories and greetings from her family. She loved seeing and hearing from everyone:
With loving thoughts, remembering Rita, from her dear sister-in-law, Sue Christy:
‘Wisdom from flowers’ written by Kathleen Partridge
The snowdrops have died on the bank by the river,
but as they were fading the crocuses grew.
I remember the scene bright with yellow and mauve,
when it seemed but a day since the white held the view.
And just as I mourned that the crocus was over,
the tips of the hyacinth broke through the bed,
followed by others in waxen perfection
but now there are daffodils dancing instead.
I no longer sigh for the loss of a flower,
but look with expectancy into the grass.
God takes with one hand and gives with another.
Will there be tulips next time I pass?
