    To All of Rita’s Family: I am so very sorry for your loss. Rita’s passing is leaving a empty space in my heart too. We have been family together for a little over 69 years, but also were best of friends. I am going to miss her so much right along with all of you. She has been my pal, & my dear friend. We loved each other & always said so as we parted differnt times we would go out together. She always said ” MJ what would I ever do without you” I always answered “you don’t have to” but now it is my turn, what ever with I do without her any more”.Jimmie as she called my Jim always loved her too.” I guess he always took her with him when she was just a little girl. She liked that & often talked to me about the good times they had together. I will miss our good times too.

    I know all of you are going to always miss her too. I am sad for you. You can never replace your “mom”.or Grma’. She will be happy now because she is home with our Lord, her mother, brother, sister. & many others that have been waithing for her to arrive. Our loss is God’s gain. My prayers & thoughts will be with all of you always. Love Mary Jane
