I just learned of Rita's death because my cousin Emailed me. I am so sorry. I knew Rita from Landi's Bakery (I am Dolly's daughter). I don't think my mother knows that Rita died because she is living in Albany, NY now. I will call her and Eda and let them know. They too will be very sad because we all loved Rita very much. She was such a kind and gentle person, I know that her family, friends, and the community were so much better because we knew her. She will be missed.

Dear Natalie and Family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences at this difficult time. Rita was a great person, sister and aunt. I remember seeing you, Nat, and her shopping sometimes and you both looked very happy and as though you were having a lot of fun together. This is a difficult time, but remember you have a great family and a lot of friends to help you through those tough moments. Take care of yourself, Natalie, and God Bless.
Your friend from Stop and Shop,
Bernie Russo
