To The Leone and McFadden families:
Sending heartfelt condolences on the passing of Rita. I met her when our boys were in preschool. Rita and I advocated for our boys and each other for years and had some wonderful times as friends. Rita was a great lady and a great advocate for her family and others. She will be missed!
