Surround Rita With Your Prayers Today
September 17, 2008
Rita Monette Tillman, 6128 15th Ave., Meridian MS 39305
Please keep Rita and James in your prayers today. Some of our classmates heard through Nancy Ranager that Rita will be having her leg amputated today. The diabetes has caused severe problems, and there is no feeling or circulation in her leg. From another source, close to Rita, I understand that she has been on dialysis three days a week.
I do not know the hospital, but recently she was at Riley's.
I'm so sorry to pass this very sad information along but hope your prayers will surround her today and the days that follow. I know that Rita has been looking forward to being with us at the reunion. Our reunions always have been so important to her.
UPDATE: 10:40 A.M. Rita is out of surgery, is in recovery, will be taken to ICU and then at some point will come back to her room. She's in Riley Hospital, Room 528. (per Millie Majors Jones)
