    Sorry to hear about the loss of my cousin Rita. Growing up I spent a lot of time at their house. She was always kind to me and will be missed.

    Such a sad moment, when I saw Rita’s name in the obituaries. She was my closest friend and favorite cousin, in childhood as well as our teenage years. We spent every weekend together each Summer, and many other nights throughout the rest of the year. We grew up; together. Time gets away from us and we can’t get it back, but the memories I shared with Rita will always be some of my best days. Prayers for Terry, Alicia, Travis, and their families.

    I am so sorry to hear she is gone. She was fun to hang out with when growing up, she got me to listening to rock music. Best wishes to all the family.
