"God looked around his garden and found an empty place Then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest God's garden must be beautiful, he only takes the best. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, For part of us went with you the day God called you home."
I knew Dita VERY well, I was really close to her when I lived in Virginia Beach between 1998-2001. I lost touch with her not long after I moved away, aside from a few phone calls here and there.

I lost touch with her not long after I moved away, aside from a few phone calls here and there. I've always wondered how she was doing and decided to try and find her. I was devastated to find her obit, literally feel like a part of me was torn off. That is how much she meant to me and how much of an impact she had.
Hope her family checks in here still, even though it has been some time now. I'll add some photos later so others can enjoy memories. less

I spent time around Dita and Justin and got to know them both a little bit. Dita was strong willed and her sisters definitely inherited that from Dita and their mom. Justin and her would talk about having a huge family and knowing they have 4 children I pray God watches over them all. She was also funny and was like another mom to Candice and her other sisters! Gone too soon!!!!! Prayers to everyone! less

As we swam in the pool I remember telling her this and saying “Oh man, and your real name is Aphrodite?!” She quickly responded with a smile “yeah girl I’m the real deal”. Still makes me laugh and smile to this day. I’m so sorry for your loss, Vanessa; for you and your family. But she will always be with you in spirit and memories ♥️. less
