Donna and Family....

I am so very sorry to hear that Rita has passed, but she fought a long, hard battle....now she is once again whole and healthy, resting in the arms of our Lord. Rita was very special to me as you know and I will always treasure my memories of the time I shared with her....being her "Favorite Daughter" and all....she was very dear to me....now I have another Angel to watch over me....maybe she and Pat can help me with my bowling when I need it!

Take care and God bless you all....Nita

Mickey and Shawn; the pain will fade but the memories will live on. One day you`ll remember something that was said or done and you`ll laugh from nowhere. Your time you had never goes away and cherish those times dearly. Thinking of you and your family. Peace, Sherrie
