My wonderful friend Rita. I will miss her. So very grateful for all the years of friendship.

Nan and George McVey are grateful for the many enjoyable evenings we spent in Rita´s home...delicious gourmet, lovely ambiance, and great friends. We are grateful for that memory.

So sad to read that Rita has left us. She was a bright light of sunshine and fun for years - bringing us cheese grits at Christmas, traveling to Chicago to help me decorate a condo, playing golf with Mom, joining the gang at Pegasus - and cheering on all grandkids and pet dogs! And of course, always looking spectacular and telling us about the antics of her own kids and grandkids. Her energy, her laughter and her love. Bless her heart. Thanks for the sweet memories, Rita.

Rita extended a subtle kindness @ a moment of family stress during a Ski trip in the 1980's that I shall always maintain in my -personal- Book Of Memories. Rest in Peace.

Rita was a good friend and lovely person. We will all miss her. Major Reynolds
