“Miss Rita is already missed so much. I cherished all the times we spent together at her special place she came to twice a week. I love hearing stories about her children and grandchildren, stories about Randy who was always by her side. Even when she wouldn't feel so well, she would put a smile on her face so she doesn't worry us. Little did she know we knew she was doing it to be strong for us. She was selfless and gave encouragement to everyone who was around her. Prayers for Randy and family.”
