Pam,Amy and Terry, I just wanted you to know how much Rita ment to me. Skipper
and I have so many good memories of her and Al. They played a big part in our life.
We often talk about the old days when we visted and all the good coffee and
cakes she served.We never have our afternoon coffee that we don't think
of them. When we were young we thought
that was so funny for them to have coffee soon as Al got home from work.
and now we do the same thing. I know they are together in a much better place. God Bless them both they were
very special people. God bless all three of you. Skip and Ivy
