Rita was my dear friend and companion for many years while our husbands served in the Navy. We met via correspondence while I was in Spain giving Rita advice about what to bring and expect when she and Lloyd arrived in Rota. Upon retirement the four of us traveled across the U.S., Canada, and attended many Navy reunions. We spoke all the time on the phone reminiscing about good times. Jack and I will miss you so much but know you will be happy in Heaven with Lloyd and your family. - Love you always, Ann and Jack Harris, Tallahassee, FL, September 18, 2017

My name is Teri and I was on the Bereavement Team at St. Joseph's when your grandmother attended the group meeting. I only had the pleasure of meeting her those six weeks but will never forget her. I loved her stories and especially the apron she made out of your grandfather's shirts. She was every bit a lady and the love she had for her family and her family had for her was so obviously beautiful. I am sure she is resting in God's arms and with her beloved.
