Charles Bodwell Sally Leighton wrote a sympathy message

“Rita was our dear friend from Florida. We will miss her and her beautiful smile. She would welcome us from her carport with open arms. She always had a treat for our dog "Ellie" and a kiss for her too. Our hearts are broken but Rita fought the long and tough battle on her terms with grace and dignity. She is an inspiration to us all. Prayers and hugs for all her family. Sally Leighton & Charlie Bodwell.”
