Rita, along with Shirley and Vera, was such an important part of my life growing up. The last time I spoke with her, all she could talk about was how proud she was of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Family was everything to Rita, and her smile could truly warm any room.
She will be missed by so many. During times like this, we realize that grief is not something you get over—it’s something you get through, together.
My thoughts and deepest...
