Rita was a dear friend, a true lady, and one of the most wonderful women I've ever met. She was a model of how to live life with intelligience and humor...she was my hero!

I remember "Aunt Rita" very well when we visited "Uncle Ed and Aunt Rita" in Greece as kids. She had a great smile and a very full laugh. Even after all these years, I remember it was always a fun time. My sympathies for your loss.
