Donna, I just heard about Aunt Rita from Eddie Keefe by email. I am so sorry. I have such fond memories of Sunday afternoons down in Everett. I visited her the Monday before Christmas last year. We had a lovely chat. I brought her some Godiva chocolates and she said"I can still have chocolate!"" She was so sweet. I will miss her.
Love to all,
Jeanne

On a beautiful fall day, as the sun was setting, you quietly slipped away. That entire day you were surrounded by the love of your family. And just 24 hours before you passed you spent the afternoon playing bingo with your friends. My only regret for you is that you didn't win big that day. I love you and miss you. There will never be another like you!
