I'm so sorry to hear of Rita's passing. But she made it to 90. That is very good. And I hope she enjoyed her life. I think she did. I spent so much time with her in my younger life. I lived with her as a little kid and she lived in my mothers house as I was a young adult. Sometimes she drove me crazy. And when I was little I thought she was so mean. But now I realize she only had my best interest at heart. I just want to let all my aunts and Jimmy and all the cousins know, even though I'm in Florida and we don't talk (except Mary) that I think of you and hope you are all doing good. Love to all, Mary Anne and Jay.
