Ah, I’m very sad to inform you that one of the soaping greats has passed away. My dear mentor and friend, Rita from TLC Soaps has gone to be with her Savior this morning.
This precious woman fought her breast cancer bravely and it did not win. In the midst of her meetings with the chemo team she always made her products available to all the patients in there with her. My own salve came from the careful tutorship of Rita herself.
I have her books to cling to. Reading them will be like sitting across the table from her sipping tea with a dear friend discussing the merits of herbs and the horrors of fragrances . . . it’s just the way she wrote.
Our family will be praying for her family in the midst of their deep loss and Heaven’s gain.
