Angela, Richard and family,
We are very saddened to hear of Rita's death. She was a wonderful and caring woman. No matter how much time had passed between us seeing each other, she would always give a warm, welcoming embrace to bridge the gap of time. I will always remember some of the amazing stories that she often shared. She will be sorely missed. May you find peace and comfort knowing she is in the loving arms of our Father.
