Sending my condolences to Ray and family.
Rita will be SO very missed. We would see each other at the Howarth dinners
and at our combined services, Rita and I would chat about
our similar efforts, as she and I were very involved in the
financial responsibilities as we both dealt with those as we
carried on those responsibilities. I remember calling her at times
to ask her advice. She consistently so patient, helpful and kind.
I would so very much like to be at her memorial service, but I am just home from hospital and dealing with many things,
I am so blessed to have known Rita.
