Roy and Rita were neighbors of mine and I hope I have the right page. I was just a young kid growing up on Romayor Ct, and Roy would make sure we didn’t stay in his lawn too long if we were playing kickball in the cul-de-sac, and Rita was sweet as can be, even offering the kids on the street popsicles from time to time on sweltering summer days. Her legacy was for me one of kindness and community. All of these years later I remembered her. To her family, I offer my much belated condolences, but thank you for sharing her with the street rats of Romayor.
