May you rest in Heavenly peace Rita. You were a wonderful person to know. May God bless you.
I was very sorry to see the death of your fairy special mom Rita joined us for the May and June rosary‘s by the Mary statue at Christ the King for many years. She was always a warm smile and a kind word, and she will be missed more than I can say. Carol Dworak
I worked with Rita at the National Park Service and you described her to a T. I always think of her fondly. May she rest in peace & rise in glory.
