I enjoyed having you as my neighbor. You were like my mother and I was the daughter. When I tried to give you food you said I was going to make you fat. No more pain and now you'll rest in peace. I'm going to miss you Rita. Love, Lucy

To all the Family,
So sorry for your loss.
Will always remember as kids getting together and having a good time at your house. Your Mom was always a great role model for you guys and always managed to stay in touch with my Mom in her later years. I also will remember her great laugh. Hope we can stay in contact sometime in the future possibly at the Gustafson's and Nelson's reunion in the summer.
