Sending love and prayers to our family so far away. Sadness as we think of Aunt Rita Mae, and our Dad, gone so long now. Sweet memories of Rita Mae and Claude visiting us in Maryland and our too few trips to New Iberia. Love to Aunt Joyce and all our cousins.

My thoughts and prayers to all of the family. I have such wonderful memories of Rita Mae. She was an important part of my life. I wish I could be with you today but due to a doctor's appointment I can't. She is in my thoughts today.
