I was so sorry to hear about Rita.
She was such a lovely person, so kind, thoughtful and a wonderful listener.
She will be missed.

Ah what a lady, She and Ernie brought lots of pleasure and fun to our family when they would come to visit in Spring Valley Calif. Great memories, watching my parents (Ernie’s uncle Ron and wife Eileen Smith)laughing and having a great time together. We all treasure the time with Rita she brought so mush to so many. May she rest in peace. Marjorie Kallis
