With Sympathy, Ben & Jen Shepard sent flowers

“Troy, Tate & Travis, More than mentors, Dave & Rita were our friends. We spent lake weekends & medical trips together. Separated by nearly 4 decades, I often told Rita, “I hope I’m as young as you when I’m your age”. She was just so fun loving. We’ll miss her terribly.”
