I still miss Rita at bingo each Thursday night and wonder what she would think of the new bingo hall which was remodeled. Every time that I put out my lucky charms that she gave to me, I think of her and say a silent hello. She still is missed and people still remember her. God bless, Rita, my bingo buddy,

Rita was a bingo buddy of mine for almost 40 years and bingo will not be the same without her. I will treasure the memories we made as friends and know that she now is an angel watching over us. God bless her and her family.
