I cant believe I was reading this, Girl you were one of the good ones, we hung out and did so much when the boys (Tre, and Devyn) were little, I cant believe your gone. It's been so many years disconnected, I am not sure what happened, but I hope you are at peace. So many wonderful memories from working at Mercy and your house on Florence St!!

I´ll always remember you as one of my best friends...the girl that laughed with me, schemed with me, talked to me on my answering machine when I was grounded from my phone. I´m so sorry.

Sending love to Rita´s sons, family, and friends.
