Sharron Newell wrote a sympathy message

“My condolences on the loss of your mother/grandmother. She was my Aunt Shirley's best friend throughout life. I remember Rita a little from occasional visits she made to Shirley and I remember her as a warm and lovely person. It is so hard to lose someone we love no matter how old or ill they are. They remain close to our hearts forever and that must hold you now. Keep smiling and remember the best of days. God bless your family and her. ~ Sharron Newell”
