Paul and Family , I am so sad to hear of Rita's passing .
I enjoyed working with her at Johnson's or just hanging out with her there having a cup of coffee .
She was so proud of her children and would always talking them.
I havent seen her sometimes , But when I would run in to her she was always kind and would we catch up .
I know she is Heaven because she was an Angel here on earth , So I know she'll be a Wonderful on in Heaven .
Rest In Peace My Friend
