Debbie, Todd, Myles and Families:
So hard to believe that such a lively spirit is gone. When I think of Rita, I think of hard work, long days and lots of laughter. Playing ball, cards, plucking chickens….no matter what, she was able to make it fun. The energy she brought to a room will be missed. She was so proud of all of you. Sincere condolences.
