Nita was a wonderful, caring person. She and I loved to talk and laugh together as well as play the piano and organ together. We loved to share our love of our Lord Jesus together. She was a part of my family. We will miss her so much but are so happy she is singing with the saints in heaven.
What a beautiful lady. Heaven has gained an amazing Angel.Â

So sorry for your loss. Nita is now with God in Heaven! Condolences!
Nita was a loving person, with a great smile. I remember that when she would play the piano at our church, years ago, the extravagant, enthusiastic music would help me to focus on the majesty of Jesus. She loved Jesus very much. And I also remember noticing what a great relationship that Ray and Nita had; it was inspiring.
Praying for you Ray, and all her loved ones.
Nita was such a sweet, caring lady! She always wore that beautiful, genuine smile of hers. I’m so sorry Ray.I know you will miss her, but Nita is where we are all trying to get to. You were such a precious husband, helping Nita through the pain, staying right by her side always. You and her family are in my heart, and prayers!Â
I am so sorry for your great loss. Nita was obviously very much loved by her family and fought long and hard to live. She was still relatively young and obviously loved life. Although I did not know her, I feel compelled to express my sympathy through this beautiful promise from God’s Word, to be fulfilled in the future. Isaiah 26:29 from the King James Version reads this way: “Thy dead men (and women and children) shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.†I sincerely hope this brings you comfort.
