May God bless your family in this time of sorrow. Rita will surely be missed. We enjoyed the beautiful flowers Rita planted each year in the gardens, outside our apartment. We will miss our long conversations about everything under the sun. There will always be a spot in our hearts for Rita's love of life and hard work.
