When I think of "aunt" Rita, I recall a lovely, gentle woman who carried herself with such grace and dignity. Her beauty, both inside and out, was evident by her endearing smile and the twinkle in her eye. Rita was (and still is) as classy as they come. My love and prayers go out to "uncle" Joe, and to the entire family.
