My heart aches for the Bobbing Family during this time. Rita was the mother of one of my dearest friends. Rita was a beautiful and elegant woman and I will never forget how special she always treated me. She was a delight to be around and someone who I will remember forever. Rita will be truly missed but will always be in out hearts.

My grandma was unlike any other. She was sensitive, smart and funny--always beautiful--particularly when she laughed--and never "old". She was fiery and proud and I will miss her stories and her frank demeanor. She was loved deeply by her loyal children, who were always there for her, night and day, and my heart is with them now.
