Thinking of Rita and remembering the family gatherings where we were allowed to sit on the couch together, chatting and watching the rampage of little people ebbing and flowing throughout the house. We had such a nice time watching and laughing and learning about each other. I have always thought what a wonderful gift God gave us when John married into the family. Rita was very welcoming, as was all of the family. I felt like I had known Rita all of my life. I wish we could be there, but we are with you in spirit. You are all in our prayers with love.
