My sincere condolences on the passing of Rita. We worked together for many years at Bristol Pediatric Center. We were not only co workers, but also friends. She always had a smile on her face and a positive attitude. She touched many lives and will be missed by anyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Rita was my very first boss. I was 17, just out of high school with braces on my teeth, and she saw past my nervousness and first interview ever. This was at Aetna. Rita was a warm and kind woman and how lucky I was to have someone like her as my first supervisor. So very sorry for the loss of Rita to her family and friends.
