Dear Patty and family,I am so sorry for your loss. I used to see Rita when I came to Columbus and shopped at Kroger. She was always so friendly and I was happy to see someone from the Holy Name neighborhood. We lost our son, Christopher Drake 2 1/2 years ago so I understand your pain. A friend who lost her son years before we lost Chris came to us right away and said, "It gets better". It does but the hole in my heart remains. May Rita rest in the arms of our loving God. Peace, Kay Flood Canton, OH
