Rita was our neighbor for about 20 years and she was so very good to our little girl Courtney. Rita always reminded me of the time when Courtney was only about 3 yrs. old and went to Rita's front door to introduce herself to Rita. Rita let her in and from that time on they were best of friends. Rita never forgot Courtney at her birthday or Christmas. We will miss Rita very much. May she rest in peace.
Deepest sorrow, Tom, Judy, and Courtney Foley
