Fr Philip here: Rita and Henry were so much a part of our lives when we lived in Elmstead Market when I was the Vicar until 2003. I'm so sorry that covid has prevented us from being with you all on the funeral day at Weeley. I have such fond memories of Rita - she was hospitable, generous, kind - and an amazing volunteer and worker at the church - a key part of the 'church family', and so much liked and loved by everyone. You will all miss her smile, energy and love. All that now taken into the arms of our loving God - the gates of heaven surely flung wide to receive her. "May she rest in peace and rise in glory. Amen".
