Not sure what to say?

Rita was a wonderful person I have fond memories of visits with her while renting property from her and her husband Jim. May she rest in peace

Rita was a wonderful lady and will be greatly missed. I always enjoyed chatting with her at the thrift store. She had a heart of gold. I will never forget her.

I first met Rita at the Salvation Army thrift store in Chittenango and we soon became good friends. I looked forward to our weekly in-store visits and occasionally talking with her on the phone.
