We are sadden to hear of Aunt Rita's death and extend our sympathy to the entire family. We were so blessed to have seen her twice in New Port Richey, FL, what a joy she was. May all your fond memories keep her spirit alive.

I am sorry for your loss...I will remember Rita's wit, laugh and abilities to "adapt" to ever changing situations...and her fascination with the Geico Gecko!
