    Tara, I’m very saddened by Aunt Rita’s passing. My heart aches for you and your family. I thought very highly of your mom and have many fond memories of her. I’m glad two of my children were able to know her. Shawna thought your mom was a lot of fun and she spoiled Garrett rotten with her homemade candy! She will forever be my Nanny in my heart!

    Rita lived by us many years ago in Defiance, Ohio. She was so much fun and a giving lady. She even talked me into dumpster diving with her! I’m very sorry to hear of her passing. Thoughts, prayers and my sympathy are with you.

    Words can not express how much this beautiful lady meant to me and how deeply I will miss her!! She was definitely one of a kind. We might not have been blood but we were family, and we always had fun together no matter what we were doing. You will forever be in my heart!! Until we meet again dear friend.
