We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Rita took wonderful care of our son Salem from 6 weeks old to age two. She ran a day care full of love and especially loved caring for infants. We later occasionally stopped by to visit but after Salem went to college our visits dwindled especially after he moved out of state. I regret now that I did not continue to visit but I did often think of her over the years. She helped us give our son a great start in life.
