Although not related by blood, she was and will always be my Auntie Rita. I have many fond memories of Auntie Rita and my mother Muriel. Now they are together again in Heaven.

Auntie Rita was one of the sweetest people I've ever known. She and Uncle Henry remembered my kids every year at their birthdays and Christmas. I used to love visiting her as a child. We got to hang out with our cousins, and there was always baked beans and brown bread. I'm going to miss hearing from her!!!

I am so sorry to hear of Auntie Rita's passing. I have many fond memories of her from childhood. Spending Sunday's and holiday's with Auntie Rita and the family was always so much fun. She will be missed.

Rita was my sister in law and we shared many good times together. We talked often and shared a lot of laughs together. She also was my godmother. I will miss her and always love her. Love Myrt
