Rita was loved dearly by her long time friend and care giver here at Wingate At Brighton , Roxanne Johnson. Roxanne and Rita shared a very beautiful friendship , not just as caregiver and patient , but more like loving friends and she is greatly missed by each and everyone of us here at Wingate.
If is extremely sad for me to look up and into her room from where I sit and no longer see her looking at me.
Rest in peace Rita, we love you and miss you dearly , you are in God's arms now.
