Mary & family,
I was so sorry to hear of Rita's passing. It has been a lot of years since we played bingo at St. James Church, not often winning but we sure did enjoy each other company. I feel like I know the Griffin family by all the wonderful pictures we shared. Please know that Rita is in my prayers. A wonderful Lady!
