Bob so sorry for your loss. It's Rita Bio Maushart. Remember meeting back in the day at the local bars when we were single. You were with Larry Orr at the time. Your Mom and I sent Christmas Cards every year since I was married in 1972. Never missed a Christmas. I even got a card from her this past Christmas. I married Jim Maushart. He knows Larry from 'back in the day'. Please know I am sending you this with sincere condolences since I know how it feels. My Mom, Josephine, passed in April, 2007 and my Dad passed in June, 1997. If you so desire, you may contact me at my e-mail address:
[email protected] Keep in touch.
Cousin, Rita
