Rita, just the thought of you brings a great big smile to all of our faces. Since our childhood your family has been a part of ours, in Arlington, Southern Pines North Carolina, Green Harbor and of course Burlington. Your home and your heart were always open to anyone who may drop in. Even those times when we would come unannounced, the door was open, dinner was on and the good times would begin, so much so that some of us wouldn't leave for 2 or 3 days! And of course at Christmas time we would all be so excited in anticipation of seeing your Xmas Village, again a lot of work for the enjoyment of others. The stories, the laughter, the good times and the sad: we could go on for years and not repeat ourselves. It is only fitting that at this time of year we give thanks to you, to
Wes and all of your family for sharing you with us. Your physical being will be greatly missed however that embracing smile and the love in your heart will always be foremost in our minds. We love you!
The Allens
