Pat,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Are thoughts are with you and Mike.

Rest in peace, Aunt Rita. You will always be in my heart, and I hope to live my life the way you lived yours; full of grace and compassion.

It was a true joy to visit with Rita on my trips to Washington. She was always giving, lively, and engaged in the present. Her fun sense of humor about herself and others was wonderful. The stories she shared with me about my mother, Bee Oberg, meant so much to me. I am sure her death is such a loss to her family and friends. She will be missed by all who knew her.
