Rita and Johnny hosted me several times back in the 70s when I was on the road singing with Genesis and eternity. She and Johnny were wonderful and their kindness was never forgotten.

Rita was my friend for 35 years. A friend like Rita is hard to find. I enjoyed picking up the phone and talking with her and looked forward to doing things with her. She always had such a beautiful smile. I am blessed beyond words to call her friend. I know shes in heaven and that's always been her goal. Much love to each of you kids and Vicki and Kerry. She will be missed by so many
