You are truly missed. Your a beautiful Angel watching over all those you loved and they miss you but they always know you are close beside them every second of the day time does not take the pain and hurt away when you loose a love one cause a big part of your heart is missing but always rejoice they in a better place then you and I.

I've known Rita for a long time but just recently moved down the road from her and Leslie. For the last two months I have spent many evenings out under the shop with her, Leslie and Tyler and enjoyed it so much. She would text me out of the blue to stop by. I will truly miss her telling me "Greg you so stupid" when I would say something STUPID just to make her laugh. My heart is heavy but I know she is in a better place. I will miss her beautiful smile but never forget it. RIP my friend.
