This was The special little one Eli Who would accompany Rita sitting on her lap of her wheelchair to all of her daily activities with me at the Holiday . Rita was special to me so I was with her all the time when I worked up in Lincoln with my pet that said that there be dog. She enjoyed playing bingo and watching him sit with his own bingo card on the ground with the group. Eli Played a very important part and Rita's life at the holiday when I was there. She was so kind and gentle to Eli And love the animals very much. God bless you Rita Love MARSHA

❤ My time with Rita wasn't very long, since I was a substitute for another employee for only a few months. However, she did made quite an impact on my life. She valued her family, her children, her grandchildren, and her precious great grandchildren. Her sense of humor was contagious. I honestly looked forward to seeing her every day along with my little therapy dog Eli who she loved immensely sharing her treats with him While playing bingo!! Rita was the kindest, caring, and giving individual that I have met in a long time. Honesty was Her best attribute in my opinion because when someone is honest with you; you can trust them, and I trusted her, and she trusted me. Rita would tell me stories after stories about her beautiful family and her precious children and grandchildren Not forgetting her one and only Her beloved husband. I need to tell you these special things that happened to me daily with Rita Because it is important that you know how much she loved you and lived for you. I am very, very sorry to hear that your loved one has passed away. She'll always be in my thoughts and in my heart. Rita was An extremely beautiful woman that will live on in all of you. God bless all of you. Yours truly, MARSHA E. DARAS and Eli
