Gary, Margaret and boys and Michael - So sad for your loss. We all loved Rita - she was grandmother #3 to my kids and watched them grow up. She was my mom's best friend and friend's with my mother-in-law as well - they were known as "The Three Amigo's". Rita and Twinnie are together in Heaven playing SkipO!

A wonderful mother to my dad and uncles, a great friend to many, and the quintessential grandmother to me and my brothers. Grandma Rita would always make sure you were eating, and never passed up an opportunity to brag about her grandsons. A passionate baseball fan - My brothers and I will surely miss watching the Red Sox with Grandma the most.
